Base Class (Cross Ref > OOP Basics)

Base Class

Languages Focus

When you create a class, it is either a base class or inherits from another class. Some languages require all classes to inherit from a common base class and some do not.

Access VBA:   Not Supported
ASP Classic:   Not Supported
C#:   System.Object

In C#, the Object keyword is an alias for the base System.Object class and is the single base class all classes ultimately inherit from.

Syntax Example:  
//Specify both namespace and class:
public class Cyborg : System.Object 
{ }
  
//Use shortcut alias:
public class Cyborg : Object 
{ }
  
//None, default is System.Object
public class Cyborg
{ }
C++/CLI:   System::Object

In C++/CLI, the Object keyword is an alias for the base System::Object class and is the single base class all classes ultimately inherit from.
