Hello,

I create a class where I have 2 properties, Name(_Name) and
Email(_Email), and one function, Subscribe.

I would like to use my class in two ways:

Dim Object As MyClass
Object.Name = "My Name"
Object.Email = "My Email"
Object.Subscribe

OR

Dim Object As MyClass
Object.Subscribe("My Name", "My Email")

How should my Subscribe function look like?

I can use:

Function Subscribe(ByVal _Name As String, ByVal _Email As String)

Dim ClassName = _Name
Dim ClassEmail = _Email

End Function

However this is allways expecting the _Name and _Email to be passed
trought the function and not through the properties.

Do I make any sense what I am trying to do?

Thanks,
Miguel
 
But does that mean that I will have two functions exactly with the same
code but different "headers"? It is like a repetition?

Thanks,
Miguel
 
I am lost now.

You mean:

Overloads Function Subscribe()

Overloads Subscribe(_Name, _Email)

[My Subscribe function code here]

End Function

Is this what you mean?

Thanks,
Miguel

How about calling one overload in the second one?

Function Subscribe()
Subscribe(_Name, _Email)
End Function

Huh, you want me to learn VB.NET syntax... ;-))

I mean that instead of duplicating the code in two overloads of one method,
you can fully implement only one of them and call it from the second one
with appropriate parameters.

Please,

feel free to write in C. I also know C but I am working in VB right
now.
