            New Employee() With {.id = 102, .name = "Arun", .age = 22, .salary = 7000},
            New Employee() With {.id = 103, .name = "Aman", .age = 23, .salary = 6000},
            New Employee() With {.id = 104, .name = "Amar", .age = 21, .salary = 6700},
            New Employee() With {.id = 105, .name = "Akki", .age = 26, .salary = 7500},
            New Employee() With {.id = 105, .name = "Anuj", .age = 23, .salary = 8700}
        }

        Dim OldAge = empList.Max(Function(e) e.age)

        Console.WriteLine("Age of oldest employee is: {0}", OldAge)
    End Sub
End Module

Output

Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains an Employee class and Main() function. The Employee class contains id, name, age, and salary data members.

The Main() function is the entry point for the program. In the Main() function, We created the list of Employees and then find the age of oldest employee from employees list using LINQ Max() extension method and then print the result on the console screen.
