First statement of this 'Sub New' must be a call to 'MyBase.New' or 'MyClass.New' (More Than One Accessible Constructor Without Parameters)

  • Article

First statement of this 'Sub New' must be a call to 'MyBase.New' or 'MyClass.New' because base class '<base>' of '<derived>' has more than one accessible 'Sub New' that can be called with no arguments.

A class constructor does not supply a call to a base class constructor, and Visual Basic cannot provide an implicit call because it cannot determine which base class constructor to call.

Error ID: BC32038

To correct this error

  • Add a call to a base class constructor MyBase.New(), or to another constructor of this class using MyClass.New() or Me.New(), as the first line of this constructor.
