Is there an ability in VB.NET to deprecate code?
I know that in C# there are 'attributes', and tags in java; is there anything similar in VB.NET, other than leaving a 'todo:...?

There are attributes in VB.NET too:
- https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.obsoleteattribute(v=vs.110).aspx
- http://www.vb-helper.com/howto_net_obsolete_attribute.html
Looks like this (before your function)
<Obsolete("This method is deprecated, use XXXX instead.")> _
And since VB.NET 10 (.NET 4 and later) we no longer need the underscore.
<Obsolete("This method is deprecated, use XXXX instead.")>
