In VB.NET, say I have a function

Public Function Foo(ByVal currentShape as Shape)

Instead up passing in a Shape object, I pass in a subclass of Shape called Square like such:

Dim square As Square = new Square()
Foo(square)

Do I need to convert my Square object to a Shape object before passing it in? If so, how do I do this?

    Square is-a Shape.
    You don’t need to convert anything.

    All subclasses are implicitly convertible to their superclasses.
