VB.NET 1.1 Tutorial - The Module Keyword

The Module keyword is used to declare a statement containing code that is outside of any class definition. Within them you can define data-types that cannot be instantiated and whose members are all static. A Module is declared in the following manner:

Public Module MyModule
  ' Add classes, properties, methods, fields, and events for this module.
End Module 

A module's access modifier is defaulted to Friend. This can changed to Public, but no other modifier. The Module always finishes with the End keyword.
