Scott,
Looking at the dates & times, Fergus's response was about 45 minutes after
your response, So when you gave your initial response it was not yet
available. My response was about 12 hours later, so I saw both of your
responses.
question, so I'm sorry if I repeated what he said.
I would not worry about it. My comments are not meant to degrade or insult,
and I attempt to avoid "static". I referenced Fergus's response as I saw his
response and I did not want to duplicate the information for you. As at that
point in time, you could have simply read Fergus's response.
I was just unaware that a class
member couldn't be marked as both Shared and OverRideable.
A number of developers have been asking for the ability, I believe a fair
share of these developers are coming from Delphi, as I am only really aware
of Delphi has the ability. I see value it allowing it, however my concern is
It raises the bar yet again of how much you really need to know to be an
effective .NET programmer. As oppose to "being little kids" and either
avoiding the features of .NET or abusing the features. Because they either
don't understand the feature or you don't know the feature exists. Or worse,
"we did it this way in VB6, so obviously we can do it the sam way in
VB.NET".
I have not seen anything in the road map that would suggest we are getting
it in VS.NET 2004.
Hope this helps
Jay
