Im new to VB.net....Im having a problem understandign how a constructor relates to the base form and a class.
What is the function on the constructor ..does it accept variables passed to it from the form?

Please don't post in HTML format.
The constructor gets called when the instance of the class is created.
It contains "initialization " code. First, the base class's constructor
will be called (you can do this explicitly by calling 'MyBase.New()') ,
then you can execute your own initialization code. You can parameterize
the constructor to privide data to the initialization process.

Stephen,
In addition to Herfried's comments.
If you used classes in VB6 the constructor is similar to the
Class_Initializ e event. In that they are both executed when the object is
created, allowing you to ensure that the class is fully initialized when it
is created.
The advantage that VB.NET's constructors have over VB6's Class Initialize
event is that you can parameterize them! Which means you cannot create an
instance of the object without supplying all the parameters to the
constructor. You can also add code to the constructor to validate the
parameters!
To define a constructor in VB.NET you add a 'Sub New' to your class or
structure. The constructor is always called 'New' in VB.NET.
For example the following Person class requires a name when you create a
person object, this name cannot be Nothing, nor can it be an empty string.
The person's name cannot be changed later.
Public Class Person
Private Readonly m_name As String
Public Sub New(ByVal name As String)
If name Is Nothing Then
Throw New ArgumentNullExc eption("name", "Name cannot be
nothing")
ElseIf name = String.Empty Then
Throw New ArgumentOutOfRa ngeException("n ame", name, "Name
cannot be an empty")
End If
m_name = name
End Sub
Public Readonly Property Name() As String
Get
Return m_name
End Get
End Property
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return String.Format(" Person({0})", m_name)
End Function
End Class
Dim jay As New Person("Jay")
Dim herfried As Person
person = New Person("Herfrie d")
Robin A. Reynolds-Haertle's book "OOP with Microsoft Visual Basic .NET and
Microsoft Visual C# .NET - Step by Step" from MS Press covers this plus the
rest of OOP in VB.NET, in a very straight forward manner.
Hope this helps

I have a public abstract class that I want to inherit from in two other
classes. My public abstract one has a constructor with several
parameters. For some reason I cannot get to that constructor unless I
create a constructor in my two other classes like this:
public ClassName(string szParameter1, string szParameter2, string
szParameter3) : base(szParameter1, szParameter2, szParameter3)
{

I understand that "delete xp" deletes a scalar object and "delete xp"
deletes an array of objects, but what I don't understand is why you need
to tell the compiler which you're doing.
When you do "delete xp", the delete procedure (not sure if that's the
right terminology) obviously knows how many objects were allocated by
the corresponding "new" call. So, why can't it just know whether you
did "new x" or "new x"?

I got an example that works at school, and it should work here as well. The
problem I think is that VS.net won't allow multiple constructors.
Here are the 3 errors I get:
1. warning C4521: 'Vector3' : multiple copy constructors specified
2. error C2668: 'Vector3::set' : ambiguous call to overloaded function
I get the second one twice, once from each of these lines of code:
u.set(up.cross(n));

Hi,
I have a class with 3 constructors, one takes no arguments, other take
an string and other an xml document.
I want to derive another class of it, I don't need a different
constructor so I didn't override nor rewrite any of its constructors.
When I try to compile I get the error :
No overloaded method for "MyDerivedClassConstructor" takes 1 argument.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
