Visual Basic .NET Language Classes Creating classes
Example
Classes provide a way of creating your own types within the .NET framework. Within a class definition you may include the following:
- Fields
- Properties
- Methods
- Constructors
- Events
To declare a class you use the following syntax:
Public Class Vehicle
End Class
Other .NET types can be encapsulated within the class and exposed accordingly, as shown below:
Public Class Vehicle
Private Property _numberOfWheels As Integer
Private Property _engineSize As Integer
Public Sub New(engineSize As Integer, wheels As Integer)
_numberOfWheels = wheels
_engineSize = engineSize
End Sub
Public Function DisplayWheelCount() As Integer
Return _numberOfWheels
End Function
End Class
