VB.NET analysis is available in all editions of SonarQube Community Build and SonarQube Community Build.
The level of support for a language is defined as follows:
Fully supported: Analysis will complete. All the language features are understood and examined.
Supported: Most language features are understood and examined but the version includes unsupported features. Analysis might break or provide incomplete results.
Versions 7 to 16 are fully supported.
Discover and update the VB.NET-specific Analysis parameters in Administration > Configuration > General Settings > Languages > VB.NET
To analyze tool-generated code (e.g. WCF code generated by SvcUtil.exe) for a specific VB.NET project, enable the "Analyze generated code" setting inside Project settings > General Settings > Languages > VB.NET. By default, tool-generated code files are skipped from the analysis.
The detection of generated code is based on file name, special comments, and attributes. The currently recognized values are in GeneratedCodeRecognizer.cs.
To analyze VB.NET code, you need to use the Introduction version 4.x or newer.
Files to be excluded should be set in the project configuration. Excluded files are still going to be analyzed during the compilation and the results will be filtered according to the exclusion settings.
As an alternative, an .editorconfig file can be used to disable the analysis for a specific rule on a file or directory. This can solve performance problems on large files.

Currently, an error will be thrown when an issue is raised on a line of code containing the following pattern \s+error\s*: (i.e. one or more spaces, the string ‘error’, zero or more spaces and a ‘:’ ). This is a well known problem on the Microsoft side (see issue). In order to work around this problem, analysis will skip issues reported on any line where the pattern is detected.
