Can we define a constructor in Vb.Net with a 'Friend' modifier?

Can we define a constructor with 'Friend' modifier?

     Friend Class Reader

       Friend Sub New()
       End Sub

     End Class

Thanks!

Yes, no problem. It is superfluous since the Friend accessor on the class already puts the constructor out of reach. The VB.NET compiler doesn't mind though, nor does the C# compiler for that matter. There is no inconsistency.
