Yes I write that code in my app and it gives error which is not logical error in my understanding of how PEM's should work in a class. I did not say you write that neither you mention it. That was an expression of my thought.

I said the problem you have in your code HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SUBCLASSING.

What/Where is my problem in my code? Did you notice the remark ' I put in front of the lines? did you notice the remark I put after the ' "works fine" or "gives warning", I managed to make the property work before I ask this question. I read and search google and reading in 3 books and when I sleep and I dream That I am searching google. All I was asking is "Why it is giving warning" It's hard to threw 15 years of "any Language" experience behind your back and start learning new language from scratch. In my stupid mind, when you are working in class and you code Me.Version or just Version, LOGICALLY they both should point to the same property. Yes I find that not logical and has no reason to give error. Eventually, You was right. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PROPERTY WORK IN VB.NET The capital letter is for emphasizing not shouting.

Excuse me, but where was I "super arrogant"??

I had one point to fix about "as***le and super arrogance" I did not mean to say that about you, I am saying that about the Post Owner PO. although after reading my post it seems like it is towards you. Sorry for that, A thought in mind translated in wrong way. please accept my apology. In short, 15 years programming experience, I cannot accept "read beginner book" as an answer, but I can accept "Vb.net Work Like that either you like or no" I am feeling nervous and upset from my self not from you. Sorry. <

Okay Doofus, explain why, if your elite skills are so good, you are asking why writing a function (forget that it's a property for the moment) without returning a value causes a compiler warning that there is no value returned? Let's go back to OO school: Getter methods are used to RETURN a value without changing anything. Setter methods are used to CHANGE a value without returning anything. Which bit do you not understand? This is NOT VB.Net nor M$, it's first principles.

Normally, When you have question in forums, and you have an answer, say it. otherwise it is much better to stay quite and play a game such Monkey Island if you love monkeys that much. I refuse the answer of "read books" because I am reading 3, and "search google" because I do. Should I read the 550 pages of books just to know that the answer to my question is "No, That cannot be done". I would like to know your answer about my

6 month of learning vb.net

Six months of "learning VB.net" makes you a rank amateur, a newbie, a mere child. It took me ten years to get to a point where I felt comfortable in my knowledge of C++. I've been doing C# for just two years (about 7 years less than almost everyone else here), and while I feel pretty comfortable with it, I wouldn't call myself "accomplished". And while I realize that this is the VB forum, saying you code in VB is like admitting you use AOL to get on the internet.

Where I mention that I am not returning a value for the function? show me. here is my question

Public Class myclass1
Function Sum()
Sum = 1 + 2 ' <-- Works Fine
Me.Sum = 1 + 2 ' <-- Gives error although me.Sum should be the same as Sum alone
End Function
End Class

I works exactly the same as it does in any .NET lanuage, be it Managed C++, C#, VB.NET, ... It's very standard and doesn't deviate from accepted norms in other languages outside the .NET environment. So, I fail to understand how you find the functionality or structure of a VB.NET Property weird.

Samir Ibrahim wrote:

There are other uses for books like that, such as being a reference when converting code/concepts from other languages to VB.NET. Yeah, I saw all the ' marks in your code snippet. It looked as though you were guessing, trying to figure out how properties worked. Properties are a very basic concept in .NET, so that's why the book suggestion. The rest, I'm not going to touch.

Hey now, I can understand bashing the OP, but the rest of us? Back when <= VS6, I would agree with you; but with the CLR/CLS, does it really matter what you use to 'develop' with these days (other than fitting in with the C# norm)?

You have 10 years experience in C++, 2 years in C# Since the algorithm and principals (thinking of solving the problem) is the same almost in all language. can you compare your self for learning let say "Delphi" with someone who has no programming experience at all?

0. No question, just a statement. 1. the first line is assigning the value that will be returned:

Sum = 1 + 2 ' <-- Works Fine

2. The second line is trying to assign a new value to the what would be returned:

Samir Ibrahim wrote:

Me.Sum = 1 + 2 ' <-- Gives error although me.Sum should be the same as Sum alone

Your whole reference point is wrong. With every post you are showing more ignorance and less ability. These are not new concepts, they have not changed for a long time. The example given, with a bit of editing, wouldn't have worked in any version of VB since classes came in in VB4 You failed to ask a very basic question. When given the best possible answer you ranted back. In summing up My Lord, I submit that the defendant is indeed a Doofus and should be shown no mercy. The case for the prosecution rests.

No, I have 18 years in C++, 2 in C#, 8 in Pascal, and a number of years in more obscure languages on systems that were not PCs. I've been programming for a living for 30 years.

Old news - I discovered that in 1981.

Delphi is Pascal, so no, I can't compare the two since I already know Pascal. What point are you failing to make?

I agree 100%. Who said that I want from you to consider me an expert? Just take into consideration my programming experience because it make a lot of difference from dealing with no experience.

Public Class myclass1
' It's "best practice" to explicitly declare visibility of the Function and to
' define it's return type if you're not using LINQ, or some other technology
' that will try to imply the return type for you based on possible values that
' the code might return.
Public Function Sum() As Integer
' You haven't defined Sum anywhere, except as a function name. VB6 supported just
' treating the function name as the return value holder. You should NOT be using
' practice in VB.NET. It is only there for backward compatibility with converted
' VB6 code.
Sum = 1 + 2 ' <-- Works Fine

    ' Now you're treating Sum not as a variable, as in the previous line, but as an object
    ' or property.  This will not work since Sum, outside of it's own code, cannot be
    ' as a variable since, in true OOP, it's a method name.
    Me.Sum = 1 + 2  ' <-- Gives error although me.Sum should be the same as Sum alone

    ' It is considered "best practice" to explicitly declare a single Return statement.
    Return x
 End Function

End Class

Serisouly, VB6 and VFP have taught you some very bad habits that are not supported in the true OOP world of VB.NET. I still highly recommend picking up a book on VB.NET so you can learn how the basics are really supposed to work, instead of the garbage VFP taught you.

I normaly type my variables and properties in .NET like so:

Public Class UserControl1 ' I add Textbox
Dim m_Version As String
Property Version() As String
Get
'Version = "1.0" ' Worked Fine
'Me.Version = "1.0" ' Warning 3 Property 'Version' doesn't return a value on all code paths. A null reference exception could occur at run time when the result is used.
'Return "1.0" ' Worked Fine
Return m_Version ' Worked Fine
End Get
Set(ByVal value) As String
m_Version = value ' Works Fine
'Version = value ' Warning 3 Expression recursively calls the containing property 'Version'.
End Set
End Property
End Class

But it probably realy would make sense to make the Property readonly. Regards: Didi
