Berdasarkan pengalaman pemrograman, pemakaian operator tidak dapat
dilepaskan dari pekerjaan pemrograman, adapun operator pada Visual Basic adalah
sebagai berikut :
Operator aritmatika : *, /, \, ^, Mod,
+, dan –
Operator relasi : =, <>,
<, >, <=, and >=
| 
Catatan : 
Pada tipe data string, prilaku perbandingan
  sangat dipengaruhi oleh setting dari Option Compare. (default adalah Option
  Compare Binary) 
Pada Option Compare Binary : A < B < E
  < Z < a < b < e < z < À < Ê < Ø < à < ê < ø 
Pada Option Compare Text : (A=a) < (À= à) < (B=b) < (E=e)
  < (Ê= ê) < (Ø = ø) < (Z=z) | 
Operator logika And, AndAlso, Or, OrElse, and Xor
| 
Catatan : 
 | 
Operator pengabungan : &
Operator bit shift : << dan >>
Contoh :
| 
Dim Pattern As Short = 192   ' Bit pattern is 0000 0000 1100 0000. 
Dim Result1, Result2, Result3, Result4, Result5
  As Short 
Result1 = Pattern << 0  ' Result is 192   (0000 0000 1100 0000). 
Result2 = Pattern << 4  ' Result is 3072  (0000 1100 0000 0000). 
Result3 = Pattern << 9  ' Result is -32768      (1000 0000 0000 0000). 
Result4 = Pattern << 17       ' Result is 384   (0000 0001 1000 0000). 
Result5 = Pattern << -1 ' Result is 0     (shifted
  15 places to left). 
Dim Pattern As Short = 2560   ' Bit pattern is 0000 1010 0000 0000. 
Dim Result1, Result2, Result3, Result4, Result5
  As Short 
Result1 = Pattern >> 0        '
  Result is 2560  (0000 1010 0000 0000). 
Result2 = Pattern >> 4        '
  Result is 160   (0000 0000 1010 0000). 
Result3 = Pattern >> 10       '
  Result is 2     (0000 0000 0000 0010). 
Result4 = Pattern >> 18       '
  Result is 640   (0000 0010 1000 0000). 
Result5 = Pattern >> -1       '
  Result is 0     (shifted 15 places to
  right). |

Catatan : 
Operator bit shift bekerja pada tingkat bit, yang artinya jika 192
  pada tipe data short (desimal/basis sepuluh) maka representasinya dalam
  bentuk biner adalah 0000 0000 1100 0000 (16 bit). 
Kemudian hal lain yang perlu diketahui adalah bit mask untuk
  masing-masing tipe data adalah berbeda, berikut ini adalah tabel bitmask : 
 
Perhatikan kembali contoh diatas 
Dim Pattern As Short = 2560   '
  Bit pattern is 0000 1010 0000 0000. 
Perintah shift right 18 untuk tipe Short akan menghasilkan operasi
  yang sama dengan shift right 2 ( hasil operasi 18 And 15 = 2). 
Result4 = Pattern >> 18             ' Result is 640    (0000 0010 1000 0000). | 
Operator perbandingan Like, dengan aturan sebagai berikut :
- Karakter ? mewakili satu karakter sembarang.
- Karakter * mewakili tidak ada karakter atau sekumpulan karakter sembarang.
- Karakter # mewakili satu sembarang digit (0–9).
- Suatu daftar karakter dalam kurung
     siku ([ab]) mewakili salah satu karakter dalam daftar tersebut.
- Suatu daftar dari karakter dalam
     kurung siku dan diawali dengan suatu tanda ! ([!ab]) mewakili satu karakter yang tidak ada dalam daftar tersebut.

Dim myCheck As Boolean | |
| 
myCheck = "F" Like "F"    | 
Does "F" match "F"? Returns True. | 
| 
myCheck = "F" Like "f"    | 
Does "F" match "f"? Returns False. | 
| 
myCheck = "F" Like "FFF"    | 
Does "F" match "FFF"? Returns False. | 
| 
myCheck = "aBBBa" Like "a*a"    | 
Does "aBBBa" have a "a" at the beginning, an
  "a" at the end, and any number of characters in  between? Returns True. | 
| 
myCheck = "F" Like "[A-Z]"    | 
Does "F" occur in the set of  characters from A to Z? Returns True. | 
| 
myCheck = "F" Like "[!A-Z]"      | 
Does "F" NOT occur in the set of characters from A to Z?
  Returns False. | 
| 
myCheck = "a2a" Like "a#a"      | 
Does "a2a" begin and end with an "a" and have any
  single-digit number inbetween? Returns True. | 
| 
myCheck = "aM5b" Like "a[L-P]#[!c-e]" | 
Does "aM5b" fit the following  pattern: Begins with "a", has and
  character from the set L through P, followed byb any single-digit number, and
  finally contains any character excluded from the character set c through e.
  Returns True. | 
| 
myCheck = "BAT123khg" Like "B?T*"   | 
Does "BAT123khg" fit the 
  following pattern: Begins with "B", followed by any single
  character, followed by a "T" and finally zero or more characters of
  any type. Returns True | 
| 
myCheck = "CAT123khg" Like "B?T*"   | 
Does "CAT123khg" fit the following pattern: Begins with
  "B", followed by any single character, followed by a "T"
  and finally zero or more characters of any type. Returns False. | 
Contoh :
| 
Dim a As Integer = 2 
Dim b As Integer = 3 
a += b                  //
  akan menghasilkan 5 pada variabel a, atau sama dengan a = a+b |

Catatan : 
Sesuatu hal yang penting bagi programmer pemula adalah memahami
  urutan operasi dari operator, pada Visual Basic menggunakan urutan operasi
  berikut ini : 
Operator
  Aritmatika dan Pengabungan  
Exponentiation (^) 
Unary negation (–) 
Multiplication and division (*, /) 
Integer division (\) 
Modulus arithmetic (Mod) 
Addition and subtraction (+, –), string concatenation (+) 
String concatenation (&) 
Arithmetic bit shift (<<, >>) 
Operator
  Perbandingan 
All comparison operators (=, <>, <, <=, >, >=,
  Like, Is, TypeOf...Is) 
Operator Logika
  dan Bitwise 
Negation (Not) 
Conjunction (And, AndAlso) 
Disjunction (Or, OrElse, Xor) 
Contoh : 
Dim A, B, C, D, E, F, G As Double 
A = 3.0 
B = 6.0 
C = 4.0 
D = 2.0 
E = 1.0 
F = A + B - C / D * E 
' The previous line sets F to 7.0. Because of
  natural operator  
' precedence, it is exactly equivalent to the
  following line: 
F = (A + B) - ((C / D) * E) 
' The following line overrides the natural
  operator precedence: 
G = A + (B - C) / (D * E) 
' The previous line sets G to 4.0. 
Dengan memahami urutan operasi akan sangat membantu untuk menghindari
  kesalahan dalam penulisan rumus yang dapat menyebabkan logika error. |
