Example

Similar to partial classes the new version of Visual Basic is now able to handle partial modules and partial interfaces. The syntax and behaviour is exactly the same as it would be for partial classes.

A partial module example:

Partial Module Module1
  Sub Main()
    Console.Write("Ping -> ")
    TestFunktion()
  End Sub
End Module

Partial Module Module1
  Private Sub TestFunktion()
    Console.WriteLine("Pong")
  End Sub
End Module

And a partial interface:

Partial Interface Interface1
  Sub Methode1()
End Interface

Partial Interface Interface1
  Sub Methode2()
End Interface

Public Class Class1
  Implements Interface1
  Public Sub Methode1() Implements Interface1.Methode1
    Throw New NotImplementedException()
  End Sub

  Public Sub Methode2() Implements Interface1.Methode2
    Throw New NotImplementedException()
  End Sub
End Class

Just like for partial classes the definitions for the partial modules and interfaces have to be located in the same namespace and the same assembly. This is because the partial parts of the modules and interfaces are merged during the compilation and the compiled assembly does not contain any indication that the original definition of the module or interface was split.
