Is there a VB.NET equivalent of C# out parameters?

Question

Does VB.NET have a direct equivalent to C# out function parameters, where the variable passed into a function does not need to be initialised?

Answer 1

You can use the pass by reference method in VB.NET.

You need the Out parameter mechanism in C#, because it doesn't let you use any variable without initializing it.

VB.NET doesn't need a special keyword as it automatically does it by itself.

Just use ByRef.
