default access modifier for a sub or a function when not set



Hi--

Please help.

What is the default access modifier value for a Sub or a Function when one
has not explicitly been set.

In MSDN, in "Access Types", it states...

"If no access modifier has been specified, the default access type depends
on the declaration context"

....which, although interesting, is somewhat less than direct.

Let's suppose a simple case. There is an ASPX page as the UI and an ASPX.VB
page as the code-behind logic. Now, if someone opens that ASPX.VB file and
simply writes a method such as...

Sub DoSomething()

'...

End Sub

....what default access modifier is applied to this method?

Please advise.

Thank you.

\\\
Class Foo
Sub Bla()
End Sub
End Class
///

will declare Foo as Friend and Bla as Public. Open the object browser
to check the modifier. I always specify the modifier...

I have read conflicting information on the access scope of VB.Net class declarations when no access modifier is specified. MSDN library documentation states "Classes that do not specify an access modifier are declared as Friend by default" However, another source, VB.Net Class Design Handbook by Wrox Press states that no a "no class access modifier results in an implicit scope of public to all assemblies". In fact, if I create a class...

Hi guys, I was under the assumption that the default type access modifier for classes/structs is internal. But the MCAD Study Guide (from MS even) says public?!?! (The Dr. GUI .NET tutorial from MS's site says internal!!) So which source from MS do I believe? It is internal is it not? Thanks

I am messing around with Web User Controls at present and (think) I have discovered the following. 1.) The identifier for the control in the code behind must match the ID for the control on the page. 2.) The identifier must be delcared with a minimum access of 'Protected' in order to work. If the above is indeed correct, then I have made the following assumptions

Hi there, The docs say that default access modifier is internal. My own experience has been that it is internal. And yet almost every website Ive seen on the web tries to tell me its public?? Am I insane? I dont have VS2003 installed only 2005. Is this a 1.1 thing? Thanks
