make this more object-oriented

Hi,

I have the following class. How would you rewrite this code to make it more object-oriented?

Code:

---

public class Vehicle
        {
                string type;
                int numberOfWheels;
                string colour;

                public Vehicle (string myType)
                {
                        type = myType;

                        if (type.Equals("bicycle"))
                        {
                                numberOfWheels = 2;
                        }
                        else if (type.Equals("motorcycle"))
                        {
                                numberOfWheels = 2;
                        }
                        else if (type.Equals("car"))
                        {
                                numberOfWheels = 4;
                        }
                        else if (type.Equals("plane"))
                        {
                                numberOfWheels = 3;
                        }
                        else if (type.Equals("boat"))
                        {
                                numberOfWheels = 0;
                        }
                }

                public void repaint (String newColour)
                {
                        colour = newColour;
                }

               
        }

Uh, is that a homework assignment? Sounds like it is right out of a textbook :D

Anyway, you would probably have car, boat, etc inherit from a base class (vehicle).

Is that what you are looking for?

Also why would you post C# work in the VB.NET section?
