How to execute functions in the parent class first and then functions
in the child class? For example, I have a parent class with functions
'ONE' and 'TWO' and child class has a function 'THREE'. How should I
declare classes so that all three functions are executed when child
class is called?

Class Parent
public function ONE
'code
end fuction

public function TWO
'code
end fuction
end class

Class Child
Inherites Parent

public function THREE
'code
end fuction
end class

That's what you need?

Hi,

I don't know if I understood you.

However you can set in the Sub New of your parent class

\\\
Public Sub New
ONE
TWO
End Sub
///

I hope this was what you where after

After some thought, this is what I would like to have. I am sorry to
both of you.
I have a parent class and child class. When I execute function ONE
from child class, is it going to executes parent's code plus child's
code? How should I declare or inherite a classe so that it executes
parent's code and then child's code?

Example:
Class Parent

public function ONE
'Parent Code
end fuction
end class


Class Child
Inherites Parent

public function ONE
'Plus Child Code
end fuction
end class

Msxkim,

It depends if one is a function that always should be performed in that
class, than in the way as I wrote. Is it not standard in that class, than in
the way as Armin wrote.

It depends. ;-)

Given these :

Class Parent
Public Sub ONE()
Debug.Writeline( "Parent.ONE" )
End Sub
End Class

Class Child
Inherits Parent
End Class

then

Dim c As New Child
c.ONE()

will display "Parent.ONE" - the child class is simply "passing on" the
Parent class' functionality.

However, changing these classes a little :

Class Parent
Public Overridable Sub ONE()
Debug.Writeline( "Parent.ONE" )
End Sub
End Class

Class Child
Inherits Parent
Public Overrides Sub ONE()
Debug.Writeline( "Child.ONE" )
End Sub
End Class

then

Dim c As New Child
c.ONE()

now displays "Child.ONE". The Child mothod replaces (a.k.a.
Overrides) the Parent method.

<--
And, just to be /really/ confusing, try this and see what you get ...

DirectCast( c, Parent ).ONE() ' ;-)
-->

To get /both/ sets of code to run, you make the Child method
call the Parent one, as in

Class Child
Inherits Parent
Public Overrides Sub ONE()
MyBase.ONE()
Debug.Writeline( "Child.ONE" )
End Sub
End Class

which (finally) displays "Parent.ONE" followed by "Child.ONE".

HTH,
Phill W.
