4.3. Constants

Constants are essentially read-only variables. Once their value is set in code (at compile time), they cannot change. Constants are defined at the local or module level using the Const keyword:

     accessModifier Const name As type = value 

where accessModifier is one of the access modifiers defined earlier. (Access modifiers are not used for constants declared in procedures.) When Option Strict is On, all constant declarations must have a declared type.
