    Hello,

    Here is code you can use (but you will have to convert it from C# to VB:

                var query = new QueryByAttribute("account")
            {
                ColumnSet = new ColumnSet(false)
            };
            query.AddAttributeValue("name", "put your account name here");

            var account = service.RetrieveMultiple(query).Entities.FirstOrDefault();
