Given the number of available objects, custom controls, etc., that are available for use in Visual Basic, it would be impossible to come up with a comprehensive list of tags for every type of object. For those not listed (or maybe for those that are as well) you'll need to come up with your own tags. What's more important than using any particular set of tags is to choose a convention for the names and use it consistently.
