I think this is an easy one!

I have the following at the start of a class.

Seems to me I could delete everything except the New method.

Is that correct?

I can't imagine why not but since the IDE put it there I'd like some
reassurance.



Thanks

Active,

Yes,

With a shared class as well the new method, but in my eyes is that no class.

No.

Inherits System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox

This says that your class inherits from ComboBox. That means it "looks"
and "acts" like a ComboBox (i.e. you can put it on a Form and it will
"appear", you can add items to it, etc., etc.). Without this, your
class inherits from Object, which can;t do any of that.

#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "

You /could/ consider removing this, but don't be surprised if the Forms
Designer puts it back in!

'Required by the Windows Form Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

Take this out and you won't be able to "edit" your Control in the
Designer any more.

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
InitializeComponent()
End Sub

OK, /this/ you need.

'UserControl1 overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
. . .
End Sub

All of this seems to be required for your Control to get "tidied" up in
the /same/ way as every /other/ Windows Control.

'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.
'Do not modify it using the code editor. Hah!

<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
Me.SuspendLayout()
Me.ResumeLayout(False)
End Sub

I'd be surprised if this is /all/ you have in here - the Designer likes
to dump all sorts of properties in here, almost for fun.
