Optional parameters in a VB.net function

Hi:

What's the syntax for an optional parameter in my function? I've done so
many ASP 3.0 Web Classes that
I haven't experienced the "Optional" parameter.

Eg. Public function adduser(ByVal firstname as String, ByVal Lastname as
String)

End Function

If I want the lastname to be optional, what is the syntax?

Thanks,

DoPublic function adduser(ByVal firstname as String, Optional ByVal Lastname
as String = "")

Remember that when you declare a parameter as optional that you must assign
a default value to it.
