object/class question

[Jim]

How do you get an object to return the same type as itself. I want to have
a calendar object that returns a date object as its default so you could do
something like this

myCalendar(date).FirstOfFollowingMonth.DayOfWeek

I want to do something like the string object where you can cascade methods
in the same line.
Sorry for the dumb question.

Public Property MyFoo() As Foo
Get
Return m_Foo
End Get
Set(ByVal Value As Foo)
m_Foo = Value

End Property
