Question

Assume I have a function:

Protected Sub UploadFile(file As String)
    .......
End Sub

Then I can do the follwing

UploadFile(file)

But I would like to do this:

file.UploadFile()

Looks like Im missing logic in here, but still – is it possible to make dot-like notation?

Answer 1

I think you want an Extension method.

Module StringExtensions
  <Extension()> 
  Public Sub Upload(ByVal fileName As String)
      ' ... Upload the file, now.
  End Sub
End Module
