Introduction to OOP in VB.NET
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming
paradigm that organizes software design around data,
or objects, rather than functions and logic.

• It focuses on creating reusable, modular, and maintainable


code by modeling real-world entities.

• VB.NET fully supports OOP principles, allowing developers to


create applications with improved design, efficiency, and
scalability.
Advantages of OOP in VB.NET
1.Code Reusability:
1. Encourages the use of pre-existing code and components
across multiple applications, reducing development time and
effort.
2. Enhances consistency and quality by promoting tested, well-
defined code.
2.Easier Maintenance:
1. Encapsulation within objects helps manage and protect
code, making updates and debugging more straightforward.
2. Allows developers to isolate changes to specific modules
without affecting the entire application.

3. Real-world Modeling:
1. Facilitatesthe creation of software that mirrors real-world
scenarios, improving user interaction and experience.
2. Enables applications to better align with user needs and
business requirements.
4. Scalability:
3. Supports the growth of applications by allowing easy
integration of new features or modifications.
4. Ensures that the software can adapt and expand as business
needs evolve.
Core Features of OOP in VB.NET

 Classes and Objects


 Encapsulation: Protects internal state.
 Abstraction: Simplifies complex systems.
 Inheritance: Reuses existing code.
 Polymorphism: Dynamic behavior adjustment.
 Dynamic Binding: Late binding of methods.
 Message Passing: Communication between objects.
Classes and Objects
• Class:
• A class is a blueprint or template for creating objects.
• It defines the properties (attributes) and methods
(functions) that objects will have.
• Object:
• An object is an instance of a class.
• It represents a specific implementation of the class with
its own data.
Class and Object Example

DEFINING A CLASS CREATING AN OBJECT


Class Car Dim myCar As New Car()
Public Color As String myCar.Color = "Red"
Public Sub Start() myCar.Start()
Console.WriteLine("Car
started") End Sub
End Class
Encapsulation

• Encapsulation is the process of bundling data (attributes) and methods


(functions) that operate on that data into a single unit, or object. It restricts
direct access to the object’s data from outside its definition and enforces
controlled access to its attributes and methods.

•Key Benefits of Encapsulation:


 Protects Object Integrity
 Prevents Unintended Interference
Encapsulation Example

• Example Code:
Class Account
Private Balance As Decimal
Public Sub Deposit(amount As Decimal)
If amount > 0 Then Balance += amount
End Sub
Public Function GetBalance() As Decimal
Return Balance
End Function
End Class
Inheritance

• Inheritance allows a class to inherit and reuse the methods and properties
of another class, establishing a parent-child relationship between classes.
This promotes code reusability and hierarchical design.

•Benefits of Inheritance:
 Code Reusability: It enables the reuse of code in multiple classes, reducing redundancy and
improving maintainability.
 Hierarchical Design: Inheritance supports the creation of a hierarchical structure, allowing for
specialization and extension of functionality through a chain of parent and child classes.
Inheritance Example

Example Code:
Class Vehicle
Public Sub Move()
Console.WriteLine("Vehicle is moving")
End Sub
End Class

Class Car Inherits Vehicle


Public Sub Horn()
Console.WriteLine("Car horn beep")
End Sub
End Class
Polymorphism

Polymorphism allows methods to exhibit different behaviors based on the calling


object. It provides dynamic behavior adjustment, allowing the same method to
behave differently depending on the object’s type.

•Types of Polymorphism:
 Compile-time: Involves method overloading, where multiple methods with the
same name exist in the same class but with different parameters.
 Runtime: Involves method overriding, where a method in a subclass redefines
the behavior of a method inherited from a parent class.
Polymorphism Example
• Example Code:
Class Shape
Public Overridable Sub Draw()
Console.WriteLine("Drawing Shape")
End Sub
End Class

Class Circle Inherits Shape


Public Overrides Sub Draw()
Console.WriteLine("Drawing Circle")
End Sub
End Class
Abstraction
• Abstraction simplifies complex systems by focusing on essential features and hiding
implementation details. It allows users to interact with objects without needing to
understand their underlying complexity.
• Example Code:
MustInherit Class Animal
Public MustOverride Sub Speak()
End Class
Class Dog Inherits Animal
Public Overrides Sub Speak()
Console.WriteLine("Woof Woof")
End Sub
End Class
Interfaces

Interfaces define a contract that implementing classes must adhere to. They
establish a set of rules and force classes to implement the required methods.

•Key Features of Interfaces:


o Forces Implementation of Required Methods: Classes that implement an interface are
required to provide concrete implementations for all its methods.
o Promotes Loose Coupling: By defining a contract rather than a specific
implementation, interfaces enable greater flexibility and modularity, allowing classes to
interact with each other without being tightly dependent on their internal structures.
Interfaces Example

• Example Code:
Interface IAnimal
Sub Speak()
End Interface

Class Dog Implements IAnimal


Public Sub Speak() Implements IAnimal.Speak
Console.WriteLine("Woof Woof")
End Sub
End Class
Constructors in VB.NET

Constructors are special methods that initialize an object when it is created. They set
up the initial state of an object by assigning values to its attributes.

•Types of Constructors:
 Default Constructor: Initializes an object with default values.
 Parameterized Constructor: Accepts parameters to initialize an object with
specific values.
 Shared Constructor: Used in shared classes to initialize objects shared across
instances.
Destructors in VB.NET

• Destructors clean up resources before the object is reclaimed by


garbage collection.
• Syntax:
Class MyClass
Protected Overrides Sub Finalize()
' Cleanup code
End Sub
End Class
Event Handling in VB.NET

• VB.NET supports event-driven programming, where the flow of the


program is determined by events or occurrences triggered by user actions
or other system events.

• Key Terms:
 Events: Actions or occurrences.
 Delegates: Pointers to methods.
Event Handling Example

• Example Code:
Public Class Button
Public Event Click()

Public Sub OnClick()


RaiseEvent Click()
End Sub
End Class
Advanced OOP: Overloading

• Method Overloading allows multiple methods with the same name but
different signatures.
• Example:
Class MathOps
Public Function Add(a As Integer, b As Integer) As Integer
Return a + b
End Function

Public Function Add(a As Integer, b As Integer, c As Integer) As Integer


Return a + b + c
End Function
End Class
Advanced OOP: Overriding

• Method Overriding allows a subclass to provide a specific

implementation for a method already defined in its base class.


• Example:
Class Parent
Public Overridable Sub Greet()
Console.WriteLine("Hello from Parent")
End Sub
End Class

Class Child Inherits Parent


Public Overrides Sub Greet()
Console.WriteLine("Hello from Child")
End Sub
End Class
Error Handling in VB.NET

• VB.NET provides robust error handling using Try...Catch...Finally


blocks.
• Syntax:
Try
' Code that may throw exception
Catch ex As Exception
' Handle exception
Finally
' Cleanup code
End Try
Real-world Applications of OOP

• Enterprise Software Development


• Game Development
• Mobile Applications
• Web Applications
Summary of OOP in VB.NET

• VB.NET fully supports OOP principles.


• Encapsulation, Inheritance, Polymorphism, and Abstraction
make VB.NET a powerful tool for software development.
• OOP promotes modularity and scalability.
