VB Lambda Functions

Is it possible to store lambda functions as variables (function references) at the package level? This is described here: How to: Create a Lambda Expression - Visual Basic | Microsoft Learn

Create the variable named LogWrite of type Action<String> and set its scope to your process’ main sequence or flowchart. See image below: [afbe…
