In VB.NET, can I mark a function as deprecated?

Question

Hi,

Is there an ability in VB.NET to deprecate code? I know that in C# there are 'attributes', and tags in java; is there anything similar in VB.NET, other than leaving a 'todo:...?

Answer 1

Use the [Obsolete] Attribute.

Answer 2

There are attributes in VB.NET too:

Looks like this (before your function)

< Obsolete("This method is deprecated, use XXXX instead.") > _
