What does TypeKind.Submission and TypeKind.Module mean in the Microsoft.CodeAnalysis.TypeKind enum?

Question

Could anybody explain what does TypeKind.Submission mean? What types are "interactive submissions"?

Also what is TypeKind.Module? What is module type?

In VS: View > Other Windows > C# Interactive. That's where you create a TypeKind.Submission type. TypeKind.Module is specific to VB.NET code and implements the Module keyword. Pretty similar to a static class in C#. — Hans Passant, Feb 21 '18 at 16:01

Module is the VB keyword for a static class.

TypeKind.Submission refers to the auto-generated class used to hold variables in interactive sessions. (src)

So the TypeKind.Module refers to the VB module or to “assembly” module? – SENya Feb 21 '18 at 22:24

@SENya: To the VB `Module`. – SLaks Feb 21 '18 at 22:33
