走近VB.Net(一)，VB中的族，类，对象
VB.Net是面向对象（object-oriented）的，又称为物件（object）导向（oriented）。在VB.Net中所有的变量类型都是基于object,而不是VariantDim x As Variant 会被升级为 Dim as object。如果你不理解对象，暂时你可以把他理解为一段数据，他是实际存在于内存的,所以对象以称为实例(instance)而类（class）就是类别，他定义一群对象，是一个对象的群体，并定义方法成员。所以类只是一个定义，只有在被声明为实例的对象（object instance）时才能具体 的调用。 你在调用其他的类成员时，弹出错误的对话框要求“object instace”,是因为没有声明一个实例的对象，你用类似声明变量的方法声明他们。如：dim formN as new form2 调用form2的成员方法new建立了一个对象的实例。你添加了一个窗体而并不能在程序中显示出来，是作为一个类，它并不实际存在。而现在使用formN.visible=true 就可以象以前一样调用，所以条条大路通北京。只是一个概念的转变，VB在幕后还是以前的VB。这个可能有人会反驳我反VB的变量称为对象，如果你把变量作为一个指针，不如把他看作一个变量 如：dim s as string ：dim in as integer ：in=123：s=in.tostring(注意VB用“：” 示换行)。In是一个变量，在基于integer的类中已定义了tostring的方法。在现在的VB中所有的方法都以这种方式内嵌于不同的类。甚至包括所有的API。虽然VB仍然支持象以前一样地使用API，除了常用的32位数据类型long应被换为integer(MSDN中称32位是最快的 )。你会感觉不方便，甚至不能达到目的。这是因为VB.Net认为你不可能再使用API，而只有形式上的支持。
在VB.Net中引入了“族”的的术语，即namespace，一般译为名称空间，思考了几个小时，我个人认为在Net中应该译为族比较合适，名字的集合示意在于对象的空间，族适用于任何对象的空间，在万事万物皆比族而分，在人亦如此。故有“非我族类，其心必异” 之语。族不离类，类不离族，族居类之上。大家可以斟酌一下，看是不是有些道理。
在VB.Net中把父类定义为族 ，已定义的族有很多，如system是最常用的族，system中包含的类几乎包容了系统的方方面面，而system较常用的子族有winforms(窗体)，drawing(图形). 待定义的如一个工程，新建一个工程，工程名就是族名。
因为winforms.form类，drawing.bitmap类是最常用的，而VS7中查找的速度实在太慢，我把他摘录在下面：当然如果你的英文很好，可以到MSDN中去查找，因为是集成的IDE，如果谁能把VB的帮助整理出来就好了，我对运用成员的方法作了一些初步的探索，我希望有英文好一点的把下面的一段英文译出来，如果这样的话，任何一个初学者，即使不懂英文，看了我的系列文章。对照下面的winforms.form成员表，drawing.bitmap成员表，能力强的一定可以在几天的内初步掌握VB.Net。.新建一个工程，默认的就会有对winforms.form与 drawing.bitmap的声明。这个也是实现windows的图形界面的最重要的图径。
一。System.winforms.form 的成员(Form Members)
[注：
1.凡注明“To be supplied”是MSDN准备在将来提供的空的文档(大部分文档都是空缺的)，所以没有翻译
2.我只能翻译一些常用项目，不是我懒，我没有任何中文的参考，如果弄错了就不太好
3.凡注明“Instance”的是要求对象实例，在拙作《VB.Net问题集》有详细的解释
4.其他如共享定义，基本语法等在我的系列文章中有详细的介绍，这是就不必要重复了

OnPaintBackground (inherited from RichControl) Inheriting classes should override this method to handle the erase background request from windows. It is not necessary to call base.onPaintBackground, however if you do not want the default Windows behavior you must set event.handled to true.
OnParentPropertyChanged (inherited from RichControl) This method is called by the parent control when any property changes on the parent. This can be overriden by inheriting classes, however they must call base.OnParentPropertyChanged.
OnPropertyChanged (inherited from RichControl) [To be supplied.]
OnQueryContinueDrag (inherited from RichControl) Inheriting classes should override this method to handle this event. Call base.onQueryContinueDrag to send this event to any registered event listeners.

OnValidated (inherited from Control) Raises the Validated event.
OnValidating (inherited from Control) Raises the Validating event.
ParentChanged (inherited from Control) Called by the .NET Framework after a control's parent changes. This allows (for example) child controls to automatically hook events on their parent, giving better encapsulation.

ProcessDialogChar (inherited from Control) Processes a dialog character.
ProcessDialogKey (inherited from Control) Processes a dialog key.
ProcessKeyEventArgs (inherited from Control) Processes a key message.

ProcessTabKey (inherited from ContainerControl) Selects the next available control and makes it the active control.
RaiseDragEventArgs (inherited from RichControl) Raises the event associated with key with the event data of e and a sender of this control.
RaiseKeyEventArgs (inherited from Control) Raises the event associated with key with the event data of e and a sender of this control.
RaiseMouseEventArgs (inherited from Control) Raises the event associated with key with the event data of e and a sender of this control.
RaisePaintEventArgs (inherited from RichControl) Raises the event associated with key with the event data of e and a sender of this control.
RaisePropertyChangedEvent (inherited from Control) Raises the property changed event. This creates the needed event data and then calls OnPropertyChanged.
RecreateHandle (inherited from Control) Forces the recreation of the handle for this control. Inheriting controls must call base.recreateHandle.
ResumeLayout (inherited from Control) Overloaded. Resumes normal layout logic.
RTLTranslateAlignment (inherited from RichControl) Overloaded. [To be supplied.]
RTLTranslateContent (inherited from RichControl) [To be supplied.]
RTLTranslateHorizontal (inherited from RichControl) [To be supplied.]
RTLTranslateLeftRight (inherited from RichControl) [To be supplied.]
ScaleCore (inherited from Control) Performs the work of scaling the entire control and any child controls.
SendMessage (inherited from Control) Overloaded. Sends a Win32 message to the control.
这是VB6中最有名的API消息函数了，我把这个API的中文帮助附录于下，只要第一个参数不ByVal hwnd As Long不用就是了
Declare Function SendMessage& Lib "user32" Alias "SendMessageA" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any)
说明
调用一个窗口的窗口函数，将一条消息发给那个窗口。除非消息处理完毕，否则该函数不会返回。SendMessageBynum， SendMessageByString是该函数的“类型安全”声明形式
返回值
Long，由具体的消息决定
参数表
参数
类型及说明
hwnd
Long，要接收消息的那个窗口的句柄
wMsg
Long，消息的标识符
wParam
Long，具体取决于消息
lParam
Any，具体取决于消息
使用如下：Me.SendMessage( ByVal wMsg As Long, ByVal wParam As Long, lParam As Any)
至如如何设定参数，就参考VB6.的一些源代码了,下面是一个拖动无标题栏窗体的用法：
Private Sub Form1_MouseDown(ByVal eventSender As Object, ByVal e As System.WinForms.MouseEventArgs)
'mousedown的事件中窗体中的下拉列表是找不到的，自己写一个吧，加上(ByVal eventSender As Object, ByVal e As System.WinForms.MouseEventArgs)即可
'下面的代码使窗体可以拖动
Me.Capture() = False '释放鼠标捕获，等同于API的ReleaseCapture()
Me.SendMessage(&HA1S, 2, 0) '唔，这个就是哪个sendmessage的API了，只是第一个句柄参数不再用了。
End Sub
我们继续往下看：
SetBoundsCore (inherited from RichControl) [To be supplied.]
SetClientSizeCore (inherited from Control) Performs the work of setting the size of the client area of the control.
SetStyle (inherited from Control) Sets the current value of the specified bit in the control's style. NOTE: This is control style, not the Win32 style of the hwnd.
UpdateBounds (inherited from Control) Overloaded. Updates the bounds of the control.
UpdateStyles (inherited from Control) Forces styles to be reapplied to the handle. This function will call CreateParams to get the styles to apply.
UpdateZOrder (inherited from Control) Updates this control in it's parent's zorder.
WndProc [To be supplied.]
WndProcException (inherited from RichControl) [To be supplied.]
二。System.drawing.bitmap的成员(Bitmap Members)
[注：
1.凡注明“To be supplied”是MSDN准备在将来提供的空的文档，所以不翻译
2.我只能翻译一些常用项目，不是我懒，我没有任何中文的参考，如果弄错了就不太好
3.凡注明“Instance”的是要求对象实例，在拙作《VB.Net问题集》有详细的解释
4.其他如共享定义，基本语法等在我的系列文章中有详细的介绍，这是就不必要重复了
.................]
(一)。静态共享方法
FromHICON: Creates a Bitmap from a Windows handle to an Icon.
从一个图标的句柄构建一个bitmap对象
在VB.Net中在方法中经常使用from-前缀代表从一个源得到，而使用to-前缀到一个目的对象
FromResource: [To be supplied.]
(二)对象构造器(Public Instance Constructors)
Bitmap Constructor Overloaded. 初始化一个新的实例(Initializes a new instance of the Bitmap class.)
（三）公用的对象（实例）属性（Public Instance Properties）

返回图片的宽度
（四）公用的对象（实例）方法
Clone: (inherited from Image) Creates an exact copy of this Image.
Dispose: (inherited from Image) Cleans up Windows resources for this Image.
这个真有一点象VB6的unload,不过dispose的用处大多了，再说一篇就是清除资源占用。
Equals: (inherited from Object) Determines whether the specified Object is the same instance as the current Object.
GetBounds: (inherited from Image) Gets a bounding rectangle in the specified units for this Image.
GetEncoderParameterList: (inherited from Image) Returns information about the codecs used for this Image.
GetFrameCount: (inherited from Image) Returns the number of frames of the given dimension.
GetHashCode: (inherited from Object) Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table.
GetHBITMAP: Overloaded. Creates a Win32 HBITMAP out of the image. You are responsible for de-allocating the HBITMAP with Windows.DeleteObject(handle). If the image uses transparency, the background will be filled with the specified background color.
得到位图句柄，这个用起来有点麻烦，好在我的文章中有了
GetHICON: Returns the handle to an icon
得到图标句柄
GetLifetimeService: (inherited from MarshalByRefObject) This method is used return a lifetime service object that is used to control the lifetime policy to the object. For the default Lifetime service this will be an object of type ILease.
GetPixel: Gets the color of the specified pixel in this Bitmap.
得到一个像素的color值,这个东东作用不小，不要轻看了他。
GetPropertyItem: (inherited from Image) Gets the specified property item from this Image.
GetThumbnailImage (inherited from Image) Returns the thumbnail for this Image.
GetType (inherited from Object) Gets the Type of the Object.
返回对象的类
InitializeLifetimeService (inherited from MarshalByRefObject) Object can provide their own lease and so control their own lifetime. They do this by overriding the InitializeLifetimeService method provided on MarshalByRefObject
LockBits Locks a Bitmap into system memory.

SelectActiveFrame (inherited from Image) Selects the frame specified by the given dimension and index.
SetPixel Sets the color of the specified pixel in this Bitmap.
设置一个像素的color值
SetPropertyItem (inherited from Image) Sets the specified property item to the specified value.
SetResolution Sets the resolution for this Bitmap.
ToString (inherited from Object) Returns a String that represents the current Object.
转到字符类

(五)族内共享的对象（实例）属性：（Protected Instance Methods）
Finalize (inherited from Image) Cleans up Windows resources for this Image.
MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) Creates a shallow copy of the current Object.
下面使用举例说明如何使用：
新建一个工程，你会看到以下代码：
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
说明：Imports(引用族名) 在C#中为using, 在C++中为namespace,作用是一样的，这仅仅是一个语法，并不是必要的调用，你完全可以不使用这个关键字，仍旧可以使用所有的族。
只是system.drawing,bitmap在使用了Imports System.Drawing以后你可以简写为bitmap。当然你仍旧可以写为system.drawing.bitmap
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.WinForms.Form
说明：Inherits 是继承的意思，这样你可以象使用system.winforms.form一样使用form已有的成员
你可以这样：Me.BackColor = System.Drawing.Color.Black
me.backcolor是system.winforms.form的成员，因为继承，form1也得到了这个成员，但是因为他返回的值是色彩，而色彩是属于图形的，你应该在system.draw
中去找，结果你找到了system.drawing.color，所以me.backcolor的值的数据是system.draw.color。在color后面打点，出现提示，有你想要的色彩，与调用，修改
色彩的方法，函数。Black就是黑色了,这个总比以前的十六进制要直观得多吧。如果你想声明一个变量保存这个值，一定要声明为：
dim colorVal as system.drawing.color 而不是 dim colorVal as string,
所有的类都可以这样声明。至于如何调用其他的一些不能直接调用的函数的问题，可以参考我的文章《VB.Net问题集》
下面是一个例子：
1． 新建一个工程，可以参考我的文章《VB.Net图解入门》
2． 添加picturebox控件在属性栏的BackgroundImage属性中引入一幅背景图,拖动他使他比图片小一点点，
3． 设置窗体的标题栏borderstyle为0,窗体的大小与picturebox一样大
4． 请在代码开始处写入Option Strict Off，关闭Option Strict使背景图片(system.drawing.image)可以使用system.drawing.bitmap类
5． 写代码如下：
Protected Sub PictureBox1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim PColor As System.Drawing.Color
Dim strPC As String
PColor = Getpixel
strPC = PColor.ToString
‘tostring的作用是丛System.Drawing.Color的数据类型转换为string类型
system.WinForms.MessageBox.Show("当前像素的RGB" & strPC, "我的第一个VB.Net程序", messagebox.OK BitOr messagebox.IconAsterisk)
‘messagebox是winforms的一个子类，主对话框的调用messagebox的成员凡以icom为前缀的是图标的调用
End Sub
Public Function Getpixel() As System.Drawing.Color
Dim PM As System.Drawing.Bitmap
PM = PictureBox1.BackgroundImage
‘如果这里出错是因为没有使用Option Strict Off
Return pm.GetPixel(pixX, pixY)
End Function
Public Sub PictureBox1_MouseMove(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.WinForms.MouseEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.MouseMove
pixX = e.X
pixY = e.Y
将以上代码粘贴到#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "到#End Region这段代码的后面
按F5运行一下，这么一点代码就可以捕获图片任何一点的色彩。
如果有时VB没有能响应键盘的有些键，请重新启动，这大概是beta版的bug吧。
