        n1 = StartNode.AddItem(102)
        n2 = n1.AddItem(103)
        n3 = n2.AddItem(104)
        n4 = n3.AddItem(105)

        Console.WriteLine("Linked list before deletion:")
        StartNode.ListTraverse()

        StartNode.DeleteNode(n2)
        Console.WriteLine("Linked list after deletion:")

    End Sub
End Module

Output

Linked list before deletion:
-->101
-->102
-->103
-->104
-->105
Linked list after deletion:
-->101
-->102
-->104
-->105

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the ListNode class and Main() function.

The ListNode class contains a constructor, AddItem(), ListTraverse(), and DeleteNode() method.

The constructor is used to initialized the singly linked list, The AddItem() method is used to add an item into the list, ListTraverse() method is used to traverse the list from start to end and DeleteNode() method is used to delete the specified node from the list.

The Main() function is the entry point for the program, Here, we created the singly linked list and add items to the list and then delete the specified node and print the list on the console screen.
