Microsoft Visual Basic .NET, version 9, released in 2008 as part of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008.

Examples:

Hello, World! - Basic (64):

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Console.WriteLine("Hello, World!")
    End Sub
End Module

Factorial - Basic (65):

This example uses recursive factorial definition.

Module Module1
    Function Factorial(ByVal n As Integer) As Long
        If n = 0 Then
            Return 1
        Else
            Return n * Factorial(n - 1)
        End If
    End Function

    Sub Main()
        For i As Integer = 0 To 16
            Console.WriteLine(i & "! = " & Factorial(i))
        Next
    End Sub
End Module

Fibonacci numbers - Basic (66):

This example uses recursive definition of Fibonacci numbers.

Module Module1
    Function Fibonacci(ByVal n As Integer) As Long
        If n < 3 Then
            Return 1
        Else
            Return Fibonacci(n - 1) + Fibonacci(n - 2)
        End If
    End Function

    Sub Main()
        For i As Integer = 1 To 16
            Console.Write(Fibonacci(i) & ", ")
        Next
        Console.WriteLine("...")
    End Sub
End Module

Quadratic equation - Basic (181):

Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        Dim A, B, C, D As Integer
        Dim p1, p2 As Double
        Try
            Console.Write("A = ")
            A = Val(Console.ReadLine())
            Console.Write("B = ")
            B = Val(Console.ReadLine())
            Console.Write("C = ")
            C = Val(Console.ReadLine())
        Catch ex As Exception
            Console.WriteLine("Invalid input.")
            Return
        End Try
        If A = 0 Then
            Console.WriteLine("Not a quadratic equation.")
            Return
        End If
        D = B * B - 4 * A * C
        p1 = -B / 2.0 / A
        p2 = Math.Sqrt(Math.Abs(D)) / 2.0 / A
        If D = 0 Then
            Console.Write("x = " & p1.ToString())
        ElseIf D > 0 Then
            Console.WriteLine("x1 = " & (p1 + p2).ToString())
            Console.WriteLine("x2 = " & (p1 - p2).ToString())
        Else
            Console.WriteLine("x1 = (" & p1.ToString() & "," & p2.ToString() & ")")
            Console.WriteLine("x2 = (" & p1.ToString() & ",-" & p2.ToString() & ")")
        End If
    End Sub
End Module
