Annotation leader lines storage

I'm working with a vb project and I want to get data from annotations with their respective leader lines.

Where the leader lines data are stored and how can I access them?

Sorry, just realized you are asking from a vb perspective. I tried searching the .NET SDK for examples - there are some for labeling - Label map features—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET | ArcGIS for Developers and some for adding graphics and text - Add graphics and text—ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET | ArcGIS for Developers. However, I couldn't find any reference to annotation and leader lines.

I did some more digging and found an Esri response to a forum posting regarding the iOS SDK - AGSFeatureLayer can't display labels nor annotation feature classes It doesn't seem to be supported or planned for support. That may just be for iOS...

It seems some other developers have run into issues with using annotation layers...
