title: Syntax: "Exit Sub" or "Return" in VB.NET subroutines
body: <p>Both "Exit Sub" or "Return" seem to accomplish the same thing -- exit a subroutine. Is there any difference in how they work under the covers?</p>
  
  <p>That is,</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub exitNow()
      Exit Sub
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or</p>
  
  <pre><code>Private Sub exitNow()
      Return
  End Sub
  </code></pre>
