Question

I would like to generate a user-defined warning message in VB.NET as is done in C# (see below):

How to use the #pragma message to generate user-defined warning messages in Visual C++

Is this possible?

Answer 1

No,

Unfortunately this is not possible using VB.NET

Answer 2

It is not done in C#, you refer to something in C++

However, you can use the attribute <Obsolete("some comment")> for classes, functions, and subs; and this does create a warning.

Here the code-version, so use Obsolete. Since you can add any text, you should be able to refine the purpose of the warning.
