Overview of the VB profile package (Visual Basic code)
The VB Profile package contains Stereotypes and Tag Definitions required for modeling Visual Basic code in the model. Through the Tag Definitions in the VB Profile, you can model Visual Basic specific information. In addition, the VB Profile package contains some Visual Basic Basic Types, such as Boolean, Byte and Char.
* 
• ACS does not generate code for the VB Profile package.
• Do not make changes to the VB profile. Any changes you make will be lost when the profile is updated.
• You can create Tag Definitions outside of the VB profile, and link those Tag Definitions to Stereotypes in the VB profile. When the VB profile is updated, the links will not be broken.
• Do not create copies of the VB profile within a model, or create copies of the VB profile through XMI Import/Export. The copies of the VB profile will not work correctly and you will not be able to update the copies through the Update All Profiles command.
The VB Profile package includes the following Stereotypes and Tag Definitions:
• «VB Attribute» applies the following Tag Definitions to all Attributes. For more information, see the related links below:

◦ VB Attributes
◦ VB Declare
