10.1 Introduction • Object Oriented Programming (OOP) • Polymorphism • Enables us to write programs that handle a wide variety of related classes and facilitates adding new classes and capabilities to a system • Makes it possible to design and implement systems that are easily extensible
10.2 Derived-Class-Object to Base-Class-Object Conversion • Derived-class • A derived class object can be treated as an object of its base class • Base-class object • A base-class object is not an object of any of its derived classes • Assigning a base-class reference to a derived-class reference causes InvalidCastException

10.3 Type Fields and Select Case Statements • Select Case Statements • Select Case structure • It allows programmers to distinguish among object types then call upon an appropriate action for a particular object • It employs the object that would determine which method to use • Negative Aspects • Programmers need to test all possible cases in Select Case • After modifying Select-case-based system the programmer needs to insert new cases in all relevant Select Case statements • Tracking select-case statements can be time consuming and error prone
10.4 Polymorphism Examples • CQuadrilaterals • CRectangle • CSquare • CTrapezoid • An example of polymorphism is CRectangle, CSquare, and CTrapezoid that are all derived from class CQuadrilaterals • Polymorphism • Polymorphism lets the programmer deal with generalities and it promotes extensibility
10.5 Abstract Classes and Methods • Abstract classes • Abstract classes are incomplete • Normally contains one or more abstract methods or abstract properties • Abstract classes are too generic to define real objects • Concrete Classes Provide specifics • A class is made abstract by using keyword MustInherit • MustInherit classes must specify their abstract methods or properties • Keyword MustOverride declares a method or property as abstract • MustOverride methods and properties do not provide implementations
10.6 Case Study: Inheriting Interface and Implementation • MustInherit CShape • Defines Area and Volume (both return zero by default) • Class CPoint2 (concrete class) • Inherits from class CShapeand overrides property Name • Class CCircle2 • Inherits from class CPoint2 • Overrides method Area, andproperty Name • Class CCylinder2 • Inherits from class CCircle2 • Overrides method Area, defines method Volume and Specifies property Name

10.7 NottInheritable Classes and NotOverridable Methods • NottInheritable Classes • Must be concrete class and it is the “opposite” of MustInherit • Cannot be a base class • NotOverridable • A method that was instantiated Overridable in a base class can be instantiated NotOverridable in a derived class • Methods that are declared Shared and methods that are declared Private implicitly are not NotOverridable
10.8 Case Study: Payroll System Using Polymorphism • Class CEmployee • Derived classes of CEmployee are CCommisionerWorker, CPieceWorker and CHourlyWorker • Ifclasses are declared as NotInheritable then no other classes can be derived from them • Each class derived from CEmployee requires its own definition of method Earnings, hence keyword MustOverride is attached to Earnings
