Different Types of Methods in VB.NET

There are two types of methods in VB .NET:

those that return a value (Functions)
and those that do not return a value (Sub Procedures)

Sub Procedures ( do not return a value )
--------------------
Sub Main()
'sub procedure Main() is called by default
Display()
'sub procedure display() which we are creating
End Sub

Sub Display()
MsgBox("Using Sub Procedures")
'executing sub procedure Display()
End Sub

Functions ( return a value )
-------------
Sub Main()
Write("Sum is" & " " & Add())
'calling the function
End Sub

Public Function Add() As Integer
'declaring a function add
Dim i, j As Integer
'declaring two integers and assigning values to them
i = 10
j = 20
Return (i + j)
'performing the sum of two integers and returning it's value
End Function
