Does VB.NET have anonymous functions?

Question

From what I can find on google, VB.NET only has one-statement lambdas, and not multi-statement anonymous functions. However, all the articles I read were talking about old versions of VB.NET, I couldn't find anything more recent than vs2008 beta 1 or 2.

So the question: How can I do this in VB.NET?

C# code:

private void HandleErrors( Action codeBlock ){
    try{
        codeBlock();
    }catch(Exception e){
        //log exception, etc
    }
}

HandleErrors(() => {
    var x = foo();
    x.DoStuff();
    etc
});

It does in VB10:

Dim food = New With {
    .ID = 1,
    .Name = "Carrot",
    .Type = (
        Function(name As String)
            If String.IsNullOrEmpty(name) Then Return String.Empty

            Select Case name.ToLower()
                Case "apple", "tomato": Return "Fruit"
                Case "potato": Return "Vegetable"
            End Select

            Return "Meat"
        End Function
    )(.Name)
}
Dim type = food.Type

Or, corresponding to your code:

Sub HandleErrors(codeBlock As Action)
    Try
        codeBlock()
    Catch e As Exception
        ' log exception, etc.
    End Try
End Sub

HandleErrors(Sub()
        Dim x = foo()
        x.DoStuff()
        ' etc.
    End Sub)
