  1. 2a – Object Oriented CSCI N331 VB .NET Programming Lingma Acheson Department of Computer and Information Science, IUPUI

  2. Object Oriented • Focus on Objects • Objects in the real world • Car • iPod nano • Button • Label • Picture • … • Must give the details of an object to let people know about that particular object

  3. Objects • Can do something to the object • Car: drive, wash, reverse, park, … • iPod nano: play songs, delete songs, charge, … • Picture: display, frame, copy, … • Defining an object means designing a blue print for the object, e.g. what properties should it have, what can it do? • Can manufacture lots of objects from the same blue print, but with different properties

  4. Objects in VB .NET • Any language inside Visual Studio are object oriented. E.g. VB.NET objects: Labels, Textboxes, Buttons, Forms, Checkboxes… • Download, unzip and open the “Inventory” project. • Double clicking on the Form frame or clicking on the “View Code” icon in Solution Explorer will bring up the code window.

  5. Define an Object • An object in VB .NET is defined by creating a “Class” (the blue print) • The objects in the Toolbox are already defined in Visual Studio, thus are ready to use. E.g. Textbox properties: • What is the name of the textbox? • What is the text shown in the textbox? • What is the size of the textbox? • What is the background color? • What is the font and color of the text inside the box? • …

  6. Create an Object Instance • Creating a new object means creating an instance of a particular Class (type). E.g. Creating three textboxes means creating three textbox objects of the Class “Textbox”. • Once we create an object, we can manipulate the properties of the object and decide on the behavior of the object. • E.g. the behavior of a button – once the user click on the button, it will calculate the total and display in the Total textbox. - a “button click” event.

  7. Summary • An object in VB .NET shares the same concept as a real world object. • A Class means a blue print of the object. • Creating an object means creating an instance based on the blue print. • Once an object is created, we can change the properties of the object. • We can also define the events.
