Overriding/Inheriting Class Constructor Methods...

[Carl Fenley]

I've been programming exclusively in C# for the last few years but am now
working on a project where I am required to write all code in VB.NET.

I'm trying to create a class with multiple overrideable contructor methods.
The problem is that I don't know how to even define a contructor in VB.NET,
let alone inherit the default contructor. Here is what I have so far:

Public Class AppSnippets
Private _instances As Integer
Private _appProcess As Process
Private _sysProcesses As Process()

Sub New()
Me._instances = 0
End Sub

Sub New(ByVal appProcess As Process)
MyBase.New()
Me._appProcess = appProcess
End Sub
End Class

I don't really know if "Sub New()" is the constructor. If it is, I need the
constructor that accepts the Process parameter to call the previous
constructor first. Any help and clarification would be greatly appreciated.

Carl,

Yes "Sub New" is the constructor.

You can use MyBase.New to call your parent's constructor.

You can use MyClass.New to call one of your constructors.

For example:

| Sub New(ByVal appProcess As Process)
| MyClass.New()
| Me._appProcess = appProcess
| End Sub
| End Class

Hope this helps
