Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) in VB.NET is a programming paradigm that emphasizes the use of objects to create clean, modular, and efficient code. Key principles of OOP include encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and abstraction, which enhance code reusability and maintainability. Mastering these concepts is essential for developing modern applications within the .NET framework.

Object-Oriented

Programming in
VB.NET
Introduction
 What is OOP?
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on
the concept of "objects," which can contain data (fields) and code (methods).
 Why VB.NET?
• VB.NET, part of the .NET framework, supports OOP principles to enable
developers to write clean, modular, and efficient code.
 Key Benefits of OOP:
• Reusability of code
• Better maintainability
• Scalable application design
• Encapsulation of complexity
OOP Fundamentals
The four pillars of OOP:

Encapsulation: Hiding data to protect object integrity.

Inheritance: Reusing functionality from parent classes.

Polymorphism: Same action behaves differently based on context.

Abstraction: Showing essential details while hiding complexity.


Overview of key OOP aspects in
VB.NET
The OOP features of VB.NET allow developers to create modular,
- reusable,
-maintainable code by leveraging objects, classes, and relationships
between them.

Below is an overview of key OOP aspects in VB.NET:


1. Classes and Objects
• Class: Blueprint for creating objects; defines properties, methods, and
events.

• Object: Instance of a class, created using the New keyword.

• Example: Dim myCar As New Car()

• Properties: Used to store object data, e.g., Public Property Brand As String.

• Methods: Define object behaviors, e.g., Public Sub Drive().


2. Encapsulation
• Definition: Restricts access to object data to maintain integrity.

• Access Modifiers: Public, Private, Protected control accessibility


•.
• Properties: Getter and Setter methods provide controlled access.

• Example: Private _balance As Decimal with Public ReadOnly Property


Balance.

• Benefits: Improves security and hides implementation details.


3. Inheritance
• Definition: Enables a class to derive from another class, reusing its
members.

• Base Class: Parent class; provides common properties/methods.

• Derived Class: Child class; inherits and extends functionality.

• Keyword: Inherits is used to define inheritance.

• Example: Public Class Bike Inherits Vehicle.


4. Polymorphism
• Definition: Methods behave differently based on the object calling
them.

• Method Overloading: Same method name with different parameters.

• Method Overriding: Redefine base class method in a derived class.

• Keyword: Use Overridable in base and Overrides in derived classes.

• Example: Public Overrides Sub Draw() for custom behavior.


5. Abstraction
• Definition: Hides complex details and shows only essential features.

• Abstract Class: Defined using MustInherit; contains abstract methods.

• Interface: Provides a contract for classes to implement methods.

• Example: Public Interface IShape.

• Benefit: Encourages modular and reusable code.


6. Constructors
• Definition: Special methods to initialize objects when they are
created.

• Default Constructor: No parameters; initializes default values.

• Parameterized Constructor: Accepts arguments for flexible


initialization.

• Keyword: Public Sub New(...).

• Example: Dim student As New Student("John", 20).


7. Events and Delegates
• Definition: Events enable communication between objects.

• RaiseEvent: Triggers an event from within a class.

• AddHandler/RemoveHandler: Links or removes methods to/from


events.

• Delegates: Type-safe references to methods.

• Example: Alarm triggers an event, and a Listener responds to it.


Real-World Applications
Where is OOP Used?
• Desktop applications (e.g., Microsoft Office)
• Web development (e.g., ASP.NET applications)
• Game development
• Enterprise solutions

Advantages in VB.NET:
• Integration with the .NET framework.
• Rich library and tool support.
Summary

• OOP in VB.NET provides a robust framework for developing reusable


and scalable software.

• Key principles like encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, and


abstraction simplify development and maintenance.

• Understanding OOP concepts is crucial for mastering VB.NET and


developing modern applications.
