Do you use resource file to store messages?

All messages are stored in one central place so it's easy to reuse. Furthermore, it is strongly typed - easy to type with IntelliSense in Visual Studio.

Module Startup Dim HelloWorld As String = "Hello World!" Sub Main() Console.Write(HelloWorld)Console.Read() End Sub End Module
