Visual Basic Implements Error

The other day a coworker was getting a strange error in Visual Studio: Statement is not valid inside a method/multiline lambda.  The code causing the problem looked this this: Public Function GetSupplyList() As IEnumerable(Of SupplyItemDto) Implements IReadData.GetSupplyList It took us a minute to realize that in Visual Basic.NET the Implements on a function has to be on the same line as the function. You can also use a line continuation character ("_") to fix the issue. Of course, this is the exact opposite of  Implements on a class where the Implements keyword has to be on the next line or you'll get "End of statement expected".
