Inheritance Question

[Edneeis]

Actually Constructors are the only thing not passed to a derived class. So it would inherit the interface but not the constructors. You can call them as you show but you will need to write that code it is not implied via inheritance.

Nevermind I guess it does inherit and fire the parent classes default constructor but it doesn't inherit any of the non default constructors.

So calling New on your child class will use the New on the parent class the same as:

Public Sub New()
Mybase.New()
End Sub

But the child class will not have the other constructors through inheritance.

Public Class Parent
 
    Public Sub New()
        MsgBox("Showing")
    End Sub
 
    Public Sub New(ByVal msg As String)
        MsgBox(msg)
    End Sub
 
End Class
 
Public Class Child
    Inherits Parent
 
End Class
 
'syntax of use
        Dim c As New Child 'only default constructor is available
