Como: criar uma lista de itens

O código neste tópico define uma classe Student e cria uma lista de instâncias da classe. A lista foi projetada para oferecer suporte ao tópico Passo a passo: Escrever Consultas no Visual Basic. Ele também pode ser usado para qualquer aplicativo que exija uma lista de objetos. O código define os itens na lista de alunos com o uso de inicializadores de objeto.

Exemplo

Se você estiver trabalhando no passo a passo, poderá usar esse código para o arquivo Module1.vb do projeto criado lá. Basta substituir as linhas marcadas por **** no método Main pelas consultas e execuções de consulta fornecidas no passo a passo.

Module Module1

    Sub Main()
        ' Create a list of students.
        Dim students = GetStudents()
        ' Display the names in the list.
        DisplayList(students)
        ' ****Paste query and query execution code from the walkthrough,
        ' ****or any code of your own, here in Main.
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub

    ' Call DisplayList to see the names of the students in the list.
    ' You can expand this method to see other student properties.
    Sub DisplayList(ByVal studentCol As IEnumerable(Of Student))
        For Each st As Student In studentCol
            Console.WriteLine("First Name: " & st.First)
            Console.WriteLine(" Last Name: " & st.Last)
            Console.WriteLine()
        Next
    End Sub

    ' Function GetStudents returns a list of Student objects.
    Function GetStudents() As IEnumerable(Of Student)
        Return New List(Of Student) From
            {
             New Student("Michael", "Tucker", "Junior", 10),
             New Student("Svetlana", "Omelchenko", "Senior", 2),
             New Student("Michiko", "Osada", "Senior", 7),
             New Student("Sven", "Mortensen", "Freshman", 53),
             New Student("Hugo", "Garcia", "Junior", 16),
             New Student("Cesar", "Garcia", "Freshman", 4),
             New Student("Fadi", "Fakhouri", "Senior", 72),
             New Student("Hanying", "Feng", "Senior", 11),
             New Student("Debra", "Garcia", "Junior", 41),
             New Student("Lance", "Tucker", "Junior", 60),
             New Student("Terry", "Adams", "Senior", 6)
            }
    End Function

    ' Each student has a first name, a last name, a class year, and 
    ' a rank that indicates academic ranking in the student body.

                       ByVal studentRank As Integer)
            First = firstName
