== Why is this an issue?

include::../description.adoc[]

=== Noncompliant code example

[source,vbnet]
----
Public Class Foo

    Private Name As String = "foobar" ' Noncompliant

    Public ReadOnly Property DefaultName As String = "foobar" ' Noncompliant

    Public Sub New(Optional Value As String = "foobar") ' Noncompliant

        Dim Something = If(Value, "foobar") ' Noncompliant

    End Sub

End Class

=== Compliant solution

[source,vbnet]
----
Public Class Foo

    Private Const Foobar As String = "foobar"

    Private Name As String = Foobar

    Public ReadOnly Property DefaultName As String = Foobar

    Public Sub New(Optional Value As String = Foobar)

        Dim Something = If(Value, Foobar)

    End Sub

End Class
