Languages Focus: Base Class

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.

VB.Net Base Class

In VB.Net, the Object keyword is an alias for the base System.Object class and is the single base class all classes ultimately inherit from. Use the Inherits keyword to indicate the parent class and Inherits must precede all declarations in a class.

Syntax Example:

'Specify both namespace and class:

Public Class Cyborg
  Inherits System.Object

End Class

'Use Object alias for System.Objct:

Public Class Cyborg
  Inherits Object

End Class

'Default when not specified is System.Object:

Public Class Cyborg

End Class
