classes

[Frank]

Hi,

class X, subclasses A, B and C inherit X. I don't want class X available to
the outside world, only A, B and C. How do I declare that?
Thanks in advance
Frank

Public MustInherit Class X

I think it is always a ggod idea to also protect any constructors in this
class. I.e.

Protected Sub New(...)

Whatever the VB equivalent of Java's "Abstract" class - is what you're
looking for - you can't instantiate it, but you can inherit it.

That would be MustInherit
