Hi Michel,
I don't know am I correct understand the problem ;)) but when so..
So far as I understand, baseclass logic not using in private case, and you want to put logic in current case to client class.
I did it this way

For Example

Public Class Parser

    Public Class Parser
      Public Event OnReplaceWithThisContent(ByVal e as MyEventArgs)

       Public Overridable Function ReplaceWithThisContent() As Boolean
           Dim loMyEventArg as MyEventArgs = new MyEventArgs
           RaiseEvent OnReplaceWithThisContent(loMyEventArg)
           IF  loMyEventArg.pmks_nodefault = true
                Return(loMyEventArg.pmks_returnvalue)
           Else
           Return True
           End if
       End Function

    End Class

    Public Class myEventArgs 
           pmks_nodefault = false
           pmks_returnvalue as Object = false
    End Class

Step 2.
Replace the logic to client side

Public Class ViewPagePage

    Inherits Framework.Framework.ViewPage

    Public Overrides Function GetPage() As Boolean
        Dim loParser As Framework.Framework.Parser = New Framework.Framework.Parser(oProcess)
        AddHandler loParser.OnReplaceWithThisContent, AddressOf MyOnReplaceWithThisContent
        ' Parse for table
        loParser.cTable = "Company"
        loParser.cContent = lcNotes
        loParser.oOriginator = Me
        If Not loParser.ParseForTable() Then
            Return False
        End If

        Return True
    End Function

   Private Sub MyOnReplaceWithThisContent(ByVal e as MyEventArgs)
    e.pmks_nodefault = true
    e.pmks_returnvalue = false
   End Sub

In This case.. when you run loParser.ParseForTable - at first it RaiseEvent OnReplaceWithThisContent with
argument MyEventArgs.
Because MyEventArgs sends by reference, we can set e.pmks_nodefault (which will stop standard behaviour of method) and move all logic to MyOnReplaceWithThisContent.. where set neccessary Return Value.


I hope it help, when I understand task correct ;)

>Because, in the Parser.ParseForTable() method, I need to call a method in the client for every record of a loop which is being processed at the class level. So, basically, the class handles all the logistic but for every record it processes, some sub logic is custom to each client. This works ok on all other places I have something like this because the client is always inheriting from the class itself. But, in this case, the client is already inheriting from another class. So, I am losing the capability of using the overridable method. Any idea?
