VB.NET equivalent of C# property shorthand?

There is no shorthand for Visual Studio 2008 or prior for VB.NET.

In Visual Studio 2010 and beyond, you can use the following shorthand:

Public Property FirstName as String

This will be handled as your short version in C# is – I think they call it “Auto Property”
