Is there any disadvantage to using a class with shared methods as
opposed to a module? I suppose the end result is the same, but I'm
curious about any other issues.

The only difference I have seen is, I find it easier to work with classes,
and unless you want to call
MyClass.MyShare dMethod
instead of amodules where you just call
MySharedMethod
Which you can do with a class with
imports MyClass
at the top... I see no real difference though... At elast for what I need.

Two things you don't have to do with Modules:
- Write "Shared" in front of every member
- Import the class at project level
The result is the same.

Classes allow you to have Private and Protected variables as well as the
ability to use inheritance. Modules don't really.
I only use modules for what I like to call utility functions.. functions
that are totally object independent that do useful routines and don't really
handle important information..
If you are modelling objects then use classes in my opinion...that' s what
they are there for ;)
All the best,
Jon

In fact, at the IL level there is no difference. A module is converted
by the VB.NET compiler into a sealed class with all shared methods. The
difference is mostly about style. Personally, I would use a class with
shared methods rather then a module - but that's me.

I have a set of tests in different modules: test_foo.py, test_bar.py and so
on. All of these use the simplest possible internal layout: a number of
classes containing test*() methods, and the good old lines at the end:
if __name__ == "__main__":
unittest.main()
This is great, because each of the modules are runnable, and I can select
classes or tests to run on the commandline if I want to. However, running
all the tests from e.g. a...

I keep asking myself this question as I write class modules. What's the
best/smartest/most efficient way to send a large object back and forth to a
class module?
For example, say I have a data access module that creates a large
disconnected dataset from a database. I want to pass that dataset back to
the calling program. And then perhaps I want to send that dataset to another
class module.
At first it seems that the "object oriented"...

Hello!
I have read some threads discussing the fact that a module is in reality a
shared class. If I try to create a Public Shared Class in vb.net I receive a
compile error. Why? If I can't explicitly create a shared class, how does
vb.net creates it?
TIA,

I've read the docs on this, but one thing was left unclear. It seems
as though a Module does not have to be fully qualified. Is this the
case? I have source that apparently shows this.
Are modules left-over from VB6, and not much used anymore? It seems
that it is better to require Imports or use fully qualified names for
functions in other classes/modules, but a Module doesn't require this,
cluttering the global namespace. It seems...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
