Overridable problem

[dbuchanan]

Why can't I add the 'Overridable' key word to any of the methods
or events in my base class? VB.NET thinks I am trying to define a
variable. What am I doing wrong?

I get the squiggly line under most of the method and the error reads
"Option Strict On requires all vaiable declarations to have an
'AS' clause"

Example code 1:

Protected Overrideable Sub SaveRecord()
' stuff to save a record
End Sub

Example code 2:

Protected Overrideable Sub DataGrid1_MouseUp(ByVal sender As
Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles
DataGrid1.MouseUp
'Highlight the entire row
'Get the X and Y of the DataGrid from the mouse event
Dim pt As New Point(e.X, e.Y)
Dim hti As DataGrid.HitTestInfo = Me.DataGrid1.HitTest(pt)

If hti.Type = DataGrid.HitTestType.Cell Then
'Me.DataGrid1.CurrentCell = New DataGridCell(hti.Row, hti.Column)
Me.DataGrid1.Select(hti.Row)
End If
End Sub

Please help.

Doug,

In order to use the Overridable keyword you need to spell it correctly in
your code.

The keyword's name is 'Overridable', not 'Overrideable'.
