VB Tips

Tip 1:
Every important variable declaration should include an inline comment describing the use of the variable being declared.

Tip 2:
At the start of the .bas module that contains the project's Visual Basic generic constant declarations, you should include an overview that describes the application, enumerating primary data objects, procedures, algorithms, dialogs, databases, and system dependencies. Sometimes a piece of pseudocode describing the algorithm can be helpful.
