I did not check 12.1 as this is quite old but in recent versions there is the
MIPRelativeGap property of the
Cplex class. Can you please check if that does the trick for you.

A gap of 100% can mean two different things:
1. The dual bound is 0.
2. The relative MIP gap is 100%.
To find the dual bound use property
BestObjValue of the
Cplex class.

All versions newer than 12.1 should support VB.NET in the same way as 12.1. The newest version of CPLEX is 12.5.
