Structures can be passed to methods as arguments. For example, consider the following method that simulates an order processing taking an instance of the previously shown Order structure:

You can then simply invoke the method passing the desired instance as follows:

Dim firstOrder As New Order(1, Date.Now, Date.Now, 1, 1) ShowOrderInfo(firstOrder)

The preceding code produces an output that looks like this:

ID: 1, Date received: 08/19/2009 23:41:37
