In C# you can do this to make your member variable immutable:
public readonly int y = 5;
What is the equivalent "readonly" keyword in VB.NET?

I think what's truly amazing is that it only took me a 30 second google query to determine that.

Suits me right for not trying it. I was stuck thinking ReadOnly only applied to properties. Thanks!

Actually, I kept searching: VB.NET immutable (which was getting me nowhere)

Sometimes, the best tool for helping you search Google is a thesaurus. :)

Well, I really had blinders on. I just "knew" it couldn't be ReadOnly because that was used in the Property declaration, so I was specifically *not* searching for readonly. :) Oh well.
