Question

I have an object instance which I access with the ME as it accesses the instantiated object. I have a method that gets a collection of these objects and I wish to assign the first one to the instantiated object.

This is some of the code

Dim Books As New BookCollection(True) Books.ListByThemeFeatured(ThemeID, 1) ' Fills the collection  If Books.Count > 0 Then    Me = Books(0) ' Should set the first item to the current object End If 

Is this possible?

EDIT: Me refers to the class that was instantiated. In this case it is a BookEntity Class. THis method would have been called using the following code

 Dim Book As New BookEntity  Book.FeaturedBook() ' Should fill the book entity with a featured book 

Answer 1

You can’t. What you’re looking for is a static (shared in VB) method:

Dim Book as BookEntity Book = BookEntity.FeaturedBook()
