.NET Framework instantiated objects

[rescobar]

Please somebody could explain me why the following statement

Protected WithEvents dgGradosRiesgo As System.Web.UI.WebControls.DataGrid

in a ASP.NET form produces an attribute in the resulting class reversed by EA instead of a separate class associated with the form??

Thanks for your kind help

The statement you made is a variable declaration, not a class declaration. Reverse engineering should generate an attribute in the containing class, not a new class. If you need a new class, you must make a class declaration.

Hi Steven!
I don't undestand how you make a "class declaration" or a "variable declaration". As I understand, a class should instantiated not declared as a variable.
.NET documentation establish: "The Protected keyword confers protected access on one or more declared programming elements. Protected elements are accessible only from within their own class or from a derived class. Protected access is not a superset of friend access", so it seems that Protected regards classes, not variables.
Please explain me these concepts.
Regards
