What are the new .NET features for Visual Basic?

Question

.net 4.5 for Windows 8! What are the new exciting features for VB.NET?

Should I download the preview now or wait for the final version?

Answer 1

Now you can override the root namespace .

 Namespace Global.NewNamespace Public Class Class1 End Class End Namespace Public Class Class1 End Class 

This means that the above can be called so.

 Dim _class1 As New NewNamespace.Class1 Dim _class1_1 As New VB_Console.Class1 

AND

Iterators are also new.

In other words, you get the yield keyword that you already had in C #
