In C# you can chain constructors in the following way:
public class Foo
{
public Foo(string name)
{
// Do something.
}
public Foo(string name, int bar) : this(name)
{
// Do something.
}
}
Is there perhaps a VB.NET equivalent to chain constructors?
It looks similar to Java in this respect:
Public Class Foo
Public Sub New(name As String)
' Do something '
End Sub
Public Sub New(name As String, bar As Integer)
Me.New(name)
' Do something '
End Sub
End Class
Note that you have to use MyBase.New(...) in case you want to call a constructor of a base class. See also VB.NET OOP Part2 – Understanding Constructors.
