How to overload method of third party component?

[Brett]

I have this sub, which is part of a third party component:

Private Sub Uploader1_OnProcessCompleted(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Uploader1.OnProcessCompleted

--do something

End Sub

I need to pass in another parameter. I do have access to their source code
but only need the modification for one app. In other words, I don't want to
create a new parameter that must be used by all apps. I just need to
overload for this one app. How is that done?

Thanks,
Brett

Hi Brett,

You can't pass another parameter to that because it's an event handler.
You could override the function which fires the event and change the
event it fires, but this will likely break a lot of code.

Where do you get the parameter from? There's probably another way to do
what you require.

Brett,

When it is not yet there you can set it in that code as a complete new
method with the same name.

That is named an overloaded method.

I hope this helps,
