What is shadowing?..

Answer / sonia.sardana

If there are overloaded methods in the base class, & u
marks one of the methods as shadows using the keyword
shadow in the derived class, then we cannot access the
overloaded methods.

Ex-
public class base
public sub test()
console.writeline("sonia")
end sub

public sub test(i as integer)
console.writeline(i)
end sub

end class

public sub derived
inherirts base
shadows sub test(x as integer)
console.writeline("Shadow method")
end sub
end class

sub main()
dim obj as new derived
obj.test()-->Invalid
obj.test(10)-->Valid
end sub

What is shadowing?..

Answer / rohit

Whatever the code written by Sonia.sardana is shows the
shadowing concept but there is some print mistakes in the
code.The correct code is---

imports system
module m1
public class base
Public Sub test()
Console.WriteLine("sonia")
End Sub

Public Sub test(ByVal i As Integer)
Console.WriteLine(i)
End Sub

End Class

Public class derived
inherits base

Shadows Sub test(ByVal x As Integer)
Console.WriteLine("Shadow method")
End Sub
end class

Sub main()
Dim obj As New derived
obj.test() 'This will show error
obj.test(10) 'This is valid
End Sub

end module
