How inheritance is achieved in VB.NET?

The Inheritance is achieved by using "Inherits" keyword in the VB.NET (& For C# it is ":"). Easy Sample is provided in CD for understanding inheritance in the folder "WindowsApplicationInheritance". There are 2 classes one is the parent "ClsParent" and second is the child "ClsChild". The Parent class has a string which has to parsed for junk data "@" and "/".ClsParent has the functionality which parses only cleans up "@"."ClsChild" then inherits from parent and adds some extra functionality by parsing "/".

Public Class ClsParent

 Protected strData As String = "jksdhkj@dadad///ajkdhsjakd"

 Public Function Parse() As String

 Dim PstrData As String

 PstrData = strData PstrData = Replace(PstrData, "@", "")

Return PstrData

 End Function

 Public Function GetActualString() As String

 Return strData

End Function

End Class

Public Class ClsChild

 Inherits ClsParent

 ' this is child and a special parse function is added which will also parse "/"

Public Function ParseBackSlash()

Dim PstrData As String

PstrData = Me.Parse()

PstrData = Replace(PstrData, "/", "")

Return PstrData End Function

 End Class

 Above is the source code for "ClsChild" which does the remaining work. It adds extra functionality by parsing "/" junk character's of the data.
