It's any of these:
Dim variable As T
Dim variable As T = Nothing
Dim variable As New T()
Dim variable As T = CType(Nothing, T) 'this is suggested by reflector
Assigning Nothing even to value types is perfectly fine in VB.NET. And the latter is only possible if you specify either New, or Structure constraint for the generic type.
The closest equivalent to default(T) is really CType(Nothing, T) since it can be used in any context that default(T) is used (i.e. as an expression).
