VB Forum / VB Syntax / April 2009VB Class definition
When I look at examples of "Class modules" in VBA Developers Handbook (Ken Getz) I see private data and public methods declarations, but there is no header line or End. However, when I insert a new class in a VB project in Visual Studio 7 I get what looks more like a C++ class declaration, i.e. Public Class myClass ... End Class Is this just new syntax?

Yes. The "Visual Basic" language supplied with the .Net Framework development platforms is similar to the language used with the VB6 development platform and VBA, but it not the same. -ralph Hi Ed, > When I look at examples of "Class modules" in VBA Developers Handbook (Ken > Getz) I see private data and public methods declarations, but there is no [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Is this just new syntax? yep. As of VB7 onwards, you can have multiple classes per code file so the "Class ... End Class" is now part of the language. Note: if you using VB7 or later, then best to ask questions in the dotnet forums, such as : microsoft.public.dotnet.languages.vb > When I look at examples of "Class modules" in VBA Developers Handbook (Ken > Getz) I see private data and public methods declarations, but there is no [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Is this just new syntax? I guess that's a polite way of putting it. Visual Studio 7....that'd be .NET. VBA and "classic" VB (meaning VB6 and earlier) are actually quite different from VB.NET. Yes, there are some similarities, but it's really apples and oranges. If you want a book for "Visual Studio 7" (and it's not actually named that), you need to get a different book (and not one for VBA either as that would be closer to VB6 than VB.NET).

VB6 can compile unmodified VB5 code -- usually, if not *always* -- but just *try* to compile VB6 code on any flavor of VB.net. SignatureGoogle groupies are filtered out.

But it IS possible to have VB6 code that won't compile under VB5....so you can't really call them both oranges. <g> SignatureMike >>>>>...there are some similarities, but it's really apples and oranges. >>>>>Mike [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > But it IS possible to have VB6 code that won't compile under VB5....so > you can't really call them both oranges. <g> Oranges and... uh... mutant oranges...?
