Question about classes 1

[Edge118]

I have my code for my Alarm class below. My one method is called isEqual and is used to compare two alarm objects. I call it by saying object1.isEqual(object2).

What I want to know is, when I'm in the mehtod, how do I refer to the object that called it? In C++, "this" is used, but I'm not sure about VB. Thanks for your help.

Public Day As String
Public Hour As String
Public Minute As String
Public isEnabled As Boolean
Public amPM As String

Public Function isEqual(alarmTwo As Alarm) As Boolean

End Function

"Pin me. Perl me."

Regards,

Chris

Inside an instance of the class?

Did you try Me ?

 

[AdaHacker]

Or you can just refer to the variable name directly, e.g.

If alarmTwo.Day = Day Then ...

Either way will work.

Are you aware that Day, Hour and Minute are Visual basic keywords?



Two strings walk into a bar. The first string says to the bartender: 'Bartender, I'll have a beer. u.5n$x5t?*&4ru!2[sACC~ErJ'. The second string says: 'Pardon my friend, he isn't NULL terminated'.

Me is correct, but as in C++, unqualidied invocations, implicitly refer to the instance called for. However I'ts counterproductive to program in VB as if it were C++. The Is operator returns True if two references refer to the same instance and False otherwise.
