Hi,
I am a VFP developer and Im moving all my coding to VB.NET and trying to develop base classes. For My forms and all controls.
I have a few questions.

1. I have a button in my base class, in the click event I have some code. but I would like to overide that code with my subclassed Button.
I made the Base class click event overridable, how to I define my click event in the subclass. I know there is an override keyword but how do I use it ?

2. Is it true in VB.NET you can only call the parent class method when you use mybase.[method]()

3. Is there a numeric text box like the date control text box.

4. I have built a project with for ecah of my subclassed controls. Can I include these projects in more than one project? because I would like to reuse the controls in all my projects I develop.

5. When I am subclassing all my VB.NET controls can they all be included in one DLL. Because its a pain to create a dll for every subclassed control.

6. When I compile my applications in VB.NET do the client systems need the .NET FRAMEwork ?
7. Do i just distribute one small EXE like DOS days.
8. Is the .NET Framework part of windows ?
9. Can I run my VB.NET Exe on any other platform like java ?

10. The Reason Why I kept away from VB is that its not a proper OOP language. The new features seem to be very promising do you see any limitations when comparing it to VFP 6(ONLY OOP) if you are familiar with it.


I will send some more questions but thats all i have for now.

TIA
FRED
