As is always the case in a major release, there are a number of smaller features that don’t get very publicized because they’re not as big or sexy as the major features. One that someone asked me about privately in email was partial methods. VB will support them in pretty much the same way that C# does. In fact, rather than writing a big, long entry about it, you could just check out Wes Dyer’s excellent entry on them for C#. Pretty much everything that he says about them applies to VB, including the syntax (i.e. the use of the Partial modifier).

How’s that for lazy?
