Module vs Class Module

Are there any performance or memory-usage benefits of placing public
functions and subroutines in a Class Module rather than a standard
module?

All a module is is a sealed class with all shared properties/methods etc.
I'm not sure if you are referring to 'Class Module' as in the old VBA sense
or as a Class. There is not Class Module in the VBA sense equvialent in
..NET

No. A Module *is* a special class:
- all members are automatically declared Shared
- no instance can be created
- it is imported automatically at project level

If you are referring to VB Classic (Version 1-6), please turn to one of
the microsoft.publi c.vb.* groups.

For VB.NET: Modules get compiled to friend classes which are imported
automatically. There are no performance and memory-using benefits when
using a class with shared methods instead.

Brad,
If by "Class Module" you are referring to a class that only has Shared
members, then as the others have stated there is no performance or
memory-usage benefits.

However! the biggest benefit I see to using classes with Shared members over
Modules is encapsulation, you are "required" to qualify the name of the
class when you use one of the shared members, ensuring that you know were
that member is coming form.

BTW: You can relax this "requiremen t" by importing the class itself, which
then allows it to work like a Module for that source file.

For example:
Imports System.Math

Hope this helps
Jay

Dear list, I am writing a Python extension module that needs a way to expose pieces of a big C array to python. Currently, I am using NumPy like the following: PyObject* res = PyArray_FromDimsAndData(1, int*dim, PyArray_DOUBLE, char*buf); Users will get a Numeric Array object and can change its values (and actually change the underlying C array).

I come from a background of Java and C# where it is common practise to have one class per file in the file/project structure. As I have understood it, it is more common practice to have many classes in a Python module/file. What is the motivation behind it, would it be a bad idea to have a guideline in your project that promotes a one class per file structure (assuming most of the programmers a background similar to mine)?

Hi, i'm developping asp.net applications and therefore i use VB.net. I have some questions about best practises. According what i read about class and module and if i understand it right, a module does the same as a class but cannot herite or be herited. 1)Is that right? 2) So i guess this module does exactly the same as the class?
