More VB - Why won't this compile?

[crokett]

I have this code:

Public Class class1 
End Class
 
Public Class class2 Inherits class1
End Class

And it does not compile. I get an 'end of statement expected' error message every time on the line where class2 inherits. If I comment out everything after class2 then the error goes away. If I define an interface and class2 implements instead of inherits I get the same error.

I am using VB 2005.NET Express Edition if that matters.

Then inherits call needs to be on the first line AFTER the class delcaration, (dunno why they did it this way but there are a lot of things like that )

Public Class class1
End Class


Public Class class2
Inherits class1
End Class

You realize of course that this is reason # 1,357 wht I don't make my living at this.

thanks.

Wow, interesting. I think that would have driven me up a wall! (...kind of like when I find myself typingInCamelCase, ending sentences with semicolons, and (oh yeah!) using nested parentheses; )

This is why I love my C/C++ and Cg and GLSL and HLSL, mostly they make more sense. I really get bugged by the languages that use white space for scope and that sort of thing. *cough cough* *python*

Did you see the article on Digg where Linus Torvalds said that C++ was the worst language? I was amazed at that. He didn't have anything really good to say about. If you didn't see the article, you can read it here.
