I assume VB.NET has some kind of documentation feature like C# (maybe?). In C# you can add /// comments. If you add them above a function, it automatically scans the parameters and creates little sections for them in your comments. Later, you can build documentation from those comments.
Why am I mentioning this? Hopefully just about every function you have has at least a one line comment to describe it's general purpose and intended use. If so, those comment blocks are a great way to see where one function ends and another begins.
You can also set up Regions in code, which are collapsable areas of code.
I know I didn't answer your question, but... I used VB for years and loved the function separater and loved it. I missed it for awhile but didn't find a way to get it back (not in VS 1.0). But after about a week, I didn't miss it anymore. It might be back in VS 1.1 but I haven't looked.

It is so much handier to use regions IMO.
The item PlausiblyDamp mentioned is available in the VB.NET 2003 Standard edition. It is the version I am using to learn VB.NET from and I just checked and it is there and actually it is checked by default. I know it is checked by default as I have made it a point not to change any of the settings just so I can always tell how things are set at install time.
