What is happening is that I have a class (ClassA) that inherits a class
(ClassB) which inherits System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

Project 1 references Project 2,
Project 2 references Project 3.

When I declare an instance of "ClassA" in a thrid project I get all of the
public methods/properties that are in the System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class,
but I do not get any of the public methods or properties that are
specirfically declared in Class B

Has anyone seen this before or could help me along in this situation?
Thanks...

I am using VS.NET 2005.

PROJECT 3
=========
Public MustInherit Class EmailMessage_Base

Inherits System.Net.Mail.MailMessage

Public Sub New()

mybase.new()

End Sub

Public Sub Test

End Sub

End Class

PROJECT 2
==========

Public Class EmailMessage

Inherits Project3.EmailMessage_Base

Public Sub New()

MyBase.New()

''''typing in me. brings up Test in the intellisense to the class at least
knows it is there
End Sub

End Class

PROJECT 1
=========

Public Class Form1

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim mail As New Project2.EmailMessage()

mail.From = New System.Net.Mail.MailAddress("someem***@email.com")

mail.To.Add("test")

mail.Bcc.Add("t***@test.com")

mail.CC.Add("b***@psfdgfdgsfdgtran.comm")

mail.Subject = "sdfgs"

mail.Body = "testing"

mail.Test '<--------------Test does not show up in the list of methods in
the intellisense

End Sub

End Class

Reference project 3 in project 1 or set up an override and call base in
Project2.

Could you explain what the logic behind this is? Or help me understand...

Why would Project 3 have to reference Project 1? If it is inheriting,
shouldn't Project 3 be able to use all the members that the class in Project
2 is inheriting already?
