I'm saying if its inherited, it will not show in the Index or Table of
Contents unless its Shadowed or Overrode.
Whether its Shadowed or Overrode or not, it will always show on the Bitmap
members page itself.

DOH! Bitmap members won't show it, as its shared! The above is for
instance members.
Although VB allows you to call shared members of base clases, only the base
class has the Shared member. VB quietly changes Bitmap.FromFile to
Image.FromFile in the IL.
