Conditioning Inheritance
Inheritance is an important feature in OOP with .NET. There could be situations in which inheritance is not good, for example to prevent others from accessing members in the base class. Or there could be custom frameworks implementations in which a high-level class should not be used directly, and therefore it should be always inherited. The Visual Basic language enables accomplishing both scenarios via special keywords, as discussed in the next section.
