Greetings to all!
I'm a newbie in vb. I just would like to know how to implement class constructor in this language.
Thanks in advance..
A:
Not sure what you mean with "class constructor" but I'd assume you mean one of the ones below.
Instance constructor:
Public Sub New()
End Sub
Shared constructor:
Shared Sub New()
End Sub

Class constructor is a VB 6 term for an instance constructor. Alas it is also a OOP term for what you called a shared constructor.

@Jonathan: Thanks, I knew it was an ambigious term, but wasn't sure what it meant where. Btw, your answer is slightly wrong in that a `Shared` constructor can't be `Public`.

Ugh, that's what I get for typing too fast.

By the way, I just saw a cheat sheet listing `public Foo()` as a "class constructor" in C#. At this point I'm thinking the term is essentially useless.

what do you mean "useless"?

If I say "object constructor" or "static constructor" you know exactly what I mean. If I say "class constructor" you have to ask. That makes it useless to me.

A:
If you mean VB 6, that would be Private Sub Class_Initialize().

If you mean VB.NET it is Public Sub New() or Shared Sub New().
