Arguments
| Attributes | An optional list of one or more attributes that describe meta information for am entity, such as for example the [TestMethod] attribute on a method/function containing tests in a MsTest class library. Please note that Attributes must be on the same line or suffixed with a semi colon when they are written on the line above that keyword. |
| Modifiers | An optional list of modifiers that specify the visibility or scope of the entity, such as PUBLIC, PROTECTED, HIDDEN, INTERNAL, SEALED, ABSTRACT or STATIC. |
| <idClass> | A valid identifier name for the class. A class is an entity and, as such, shares the same name space as other entities. This means that it is not possible to have a class and a global variable, for example, with the same name. |
| AS <idParentClass> | The name of an existing class (called a superclass) from which the new class inherits methods and instance variables. The AS <idParent> clause is mandatory! And idParentClass must inherit from the XSharp.VFP.Custom class. |
| OF <classLib> | This clause is parsed but ignored in X#. |
| OLEPUBLIC | This clause is parsed but ignored in X#. |
