Is there any way to do something like macro substitution in VB, like in C++ or C or other languages?

Hi guys I want to insert a load of pieces of data into a map The map has an std::string representing a field name as the key, and the value is a struct with 2 members - the field length and a bool indicating whether the field is a special field or not. The struct representing the value has a constructor that takes a single parameter for the length, and defaults the boolean to false.
