Demonstrate Polymorphism in Vb.net through Constructor overloading.
Que : WAP to demonstrate Polymorphism in Vb.net through Constructor overloading.
Polymorphism in VB.NET.
Polymorphism is the concept that different objects have different implementations of the same characteristic. … Given two different classes with the same properties and methods, a variable of type object could be used to instantiate an object of either class
Constructor overloading in vb.net
When the same method name is used for more than one method, with different types of parameters and returned types, then the method is said to be overloaded. Constructor is a special method called ‘New()’ in vb.net and is defined as a Sub.Overloading feature is used most frequently to overload the constructor. We overload the constructor by defining more than one ‘Sub New()’ procedure. By overloading a constructor, we make available more than one constructor.So, while creating an object we can choose which constructor we want to use to instantiate the object. The only condition while overloading the constructor is that the constructor should have a signature which is different from other constructors.
