VB.NET class inherits a base class and implements an interface issue (works in C#)

Question

I am trying to create a class in VB.NET which inherits a base abstract class and also implements an interface. The interface declares a string property called Description. T

Answer 1

Sorry if I'm late to the party, and apologies too if this functionality has only been introduced in .NET 4, but the following is possible (now)

Public Interface IFoo
    Property Description() As String
End Interface

Public MustInherit Class FooBase
    Implements IFoo

    Public MustOverride Property Description As String Implements IFoo.Description
End Class

Public Class MyFoo
    Inherits FooBase

    Private _description As String

    Public Overrides Property Description As String
        Get
            Return _description
        End Get
        Set(value As String)
            _description = value
        End Set
    End Property
End Class
