One odd thing I've come across - if you declare a private variable in
a class, it is exposed to other instances of that same class.
To replicate this behaviour, create a class like this:
Public Class Class1
Private mintID As Integer = 0
Public Sub New(ByVal pintID As Integer)
MyBase.New()
mintID = pintID
End Sub
Public Sub Compare(ByVal pobj As Class1)
If (mintID = pobj.mintID) Then
MessageBox.Show ("IDs are equal!")
Else
MessageBox.Show ("IDs are not equal!")
End If
End Sub
End Class
then create a form with one button, and put this code into the Click
event procedure:
Dim obj1 As New Class1(5)
Dim obj2 As New Class1(4)
Dim obj3 As New Class1(5)
obj1.Compare(ob j2)
obj1.Compare(ob j3)
When you run the application, you will see two messages: "IDs are not
equal!", then "IDs are equal!". So, it is able to access the private
variables, and it is also looking at the other instance (rather than
retrieving the value from itself).
(I'm using Visual Studio 2003, with v1.1 of the .NET Framework)
I'm not sure whether this is intentional, or a bug - the documentation
seems a bit vague on this point. Personally, I can see where it would
be useful (I came across it when I was investigating deep vs shallow
copying of objects), but I'd prefer the private variables to be
hidden. This reminds me of the way that Friend access works in C++
(rather than VB), where you can explicitly say "Class X has access to
my hidden properties".

No this is correct, Private members of a Class are avauilable to other
instances of the same class. However, you can Shadow this if you inhert the
class .

Actually scrub what I just said, thats not true about shadowing, that wont
help.

That's what I would expect:
<msdn>
The Private keyword in the Dim statement declares elements to be
accessible only from within the same module, class, or structure.
</msdn>

It's the /same class/ in the VB case.

Hello,
It seems to me that using too many variables at class scope in C++ (e.g.
private data members) can be just as bad as having a C program with lots
of global variables. This is especially true for large classes with
lots of methods. The worse part is that even if conventions are used
to assign names to class data members to so as to distinguish them from
other variables, then it still becomes difficult to tell from the
