v 1. 共享资料成员
v 2. 共享程序成员

您已经习惯像 New Employee("Tom", 25)这样的指令了，看到这个指令可以想向它是：Employee.New("Tom", 25)，于是不难想象到，原来类别也是对象！这个类别对象(Class Object)接到New()讯息时，就去诞生一个对象，原来类别对象就是妈妈对象(Meta Object)！妈妈是小孩共有的，妈妈的资料值是小孩共享的，妈妈的程序是小孩共享的。本文就介绍这种共享的资料成员和程序成员。



1. 共享资料成员
对象拥有自己的空间﹐也拥有自己的资料﹔对象之间的沟通（交换资料）方法是个重要问题。如果只想传递某项资料时﹐该如何呢﹖


图1、 对象间之沟通

有数种可行方法﹐请看个例子﹕

'ex01.bas
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
'----------------------------------------------------
Class Employee
Private emp_name As String
Public salary As Double
Public Overloads Sub New(ByVal na As String)
emp_name = na
End Sub
Public Overloads Sub New(ByVal na As String, ByVal s As Double)
emp_name = na
salary = s
End Sub
Public Sub Display()
MessageBox.Show("Name: " + emp_name + " Salary: " + str(salary))
End Sub
End Class
'-----------------------------------------------------
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.WinForms.Form
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Form1 = Me
'This call is required by the Win Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'TODO: Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Public Overrides Sub Dispose()
MyBase.Dispose()
components.Dispose()
End Sub
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
......
#End Region
Protected Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim e1 As New Employee("Tom")
Dim e2 As New Employee("Lily", 20000)
e1.salary = e2.salary + 5000
e1.Display()
e2.Display()
End Sub
End Class

此程序输出如下﹕
Name:Tom Salary:25000
Name:Lily Salary:20000

这宣告salary为public变量﹐让main()能直接使用salary变量。指令：
e1.salary = e2.salary + 5000

把对象e2之salary值加上5000﹐然后存入e1之salary变量中。此程序﹐重复定义了建构者程序── New()﹐宣告对象e1及e2时﹐就有两种选择﹕只输入姓名﹐或同时输入姓名及薪资额。请注意一项缺点﹕把salary宣告为Public变量﹐让Form1_Click()可使用salary变量名称﹐直接把资料存入对象中。若其它程序也依样画葫芦﹐任意把值存入salary中﹐那么salary值可能无意中遭破坏了。
如果salary资料并非机密﹐尚无所谓。如果salary含有极重要资料﹐就得谨慎小心了。就像一颗炸弹（Employee类别）内的炸药（salary资料）可能无意中因外面因素（温度升高等）而引起变化导致爆炸﹐就危险了。


图2、类别之保护功能

因之﹐为让对象之间互相传递资料而把资料成员宣告为Public变量并不甚妥当。希望能像炸弹一样﹐只能经由信管（程序成员）使内部的炸药(salary)起化学作用。于是﹐宣告salary为Private变量﹐把它封藏在Employee的保护之中才安全。类别（及对象）之用途和手表、灯泡、蜗牛的外壳是一样的──保护内部之资料﹐只限特定之管道才能存取资料。然而一旦把salary藏入Employee壳中﹐上述程序就出问题了﹐如下﹕

'ex02.bas
'Some Error Here!
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
'----------------------------------------------------
Class Employee
Private emp_name As String
Private salary As Double
Public Overloads Sub New(ByVal na As String)
emp_name = na
End Sub
Public Overloads Sub New(ByVal na As String, ByVal s As Double)
emp_name = na
salary = s
End Sub
Public Sub Display()
MessageBox.Show("Name: " + emp_name + " Salary: " + str(salary))
End Sub
End Class
'-----------------------------------------------------
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.WinForms.Form
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Form1 = Me
'This call is required by the Win Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'TODO: Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Public Overrides Sub Dispose()
MyBase.Dispose()
components.Dispose()
End Sub
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
.....
#End Region
Protected Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim e1 As New Employee("Tom")
Dim e2 As New Employee("Lily", 20000)
e1.salary = e2.salary + 5000 'Error !
e1.Display()
e2.Display()
End Sub
End Class

因为salary变成 Private变量﹐Form1_Click()不能使用它﹗


为了将传递之过程纳入类别保护之中﹐有数种方法，例如：

'ex03.bas
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
'----------------------------------------------------------------------
Class Employee
Private Shared temp As Double
Private emp_name As String
Private salary As Double

Shared Sub New()
temp = 0
End Sub
Public Overloads Sub New(ByVal na As String)
emp_name = na
End Sub
Public Overloads Sub New(ByVal na As String, ByVal s As Double)
emp_name = na
salary = s
End Sub
Public Sub addSalaryTo(ByVal emp As Employee , ByVal money As Double)
salary = emp.salary + money
End Sub
Public Sub Display()
MessageBox.Show("Name: " + emp_name + " Salary: " + str(salary))
End Sub
End Class
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.WinForms.Form

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

Form1 = Me
'This call is required by the Win Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'TODO: Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Public Overrides Sub Dispose()
MyBase.Dispose()
components.Dispose()
End Sub
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
......
#End Region
Protected Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim e1 As New Employee("Tom")
Dim e2 As New Employee("Lily", 20000)
e1.addSalaryTo(e2, 5000)
e1.Display()
e2.Display()
End Sub
End Class

此程序输出如下﹕
Name:Tom Salary:25000
Name:Lily Salary:20000

指令── salary = emp.salary + money 已经在Employee类别的保护中，这是不错的做法。
另一种方法是采用共享资料成员，是同一类别里各对象皆共享其值；一般资料成员的值是封装于各对象内，别的对象是拿不到的。共享资料成员的值是在对象之外，但封装在类别内，只要是该类别的对象皆能拿到该值。因为一般资料成员的值封装于对象内，所以又称为对象变量(Instance Variable)；共享资料成员封装于类别，所以又称为类别变量(Class Variable)。上述程序可改用共享变量如下﹕

'ex04.bas
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
'----------------------------------------------------
Class Employee
Private emp_name As String
Private salary As Double
Private Shared temp As Double

Public Overloads Sub New(ByVal na As String)
emp_name = na
End Sub
Shared Sub New()
temp = 0
End Sub
Public Overloads Sub New(ByVal na As String, ByVal s As Double)
emp_name = na
salary = s
End Sub
Public Sub output()
temp = salary
End Sub
Public Sub input()
salary = temp
End Sub
Public Sub add_temp(ByVal money As Double)
temp = temp + money
End Sub
Public Sub Display()
MessageBox.Show("Name: " + emp_name + " Salary: " + str(salary))
End Sub
End Class
'-----------------------------------------------------
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.WinForms.Form
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Form1 = Me
'This call is required by the Win Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'TODO: Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Public Overrides Sub Dispose()
MyBase.Dispose()
components.Dispose()
End Sub
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
......
#End Region
Protected Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim e1 As New Employee("Tom")
Dim e2 As New Employee("Lily", 20000)
e2.output()
e2.add_temp(5000)
e1.input()
e1.Display()
e2.Display()
End Sub
End Class

此程序输出如下﹕
Name:Tom Salary:25000
Name:Lily Salary:20000


宣告指令── Private Shared temp As Double
说明了﹐temp是共享资料成员。兹归纳，共享资料成员与一般资料成员之区别为：

「共享资料成员是各对象公用的资料﹐
而一般资料成员是对象之私有资料。」

当第1次诞生对象时﹐共享资料成员就由Shared Sub New()诞生了。当执行到指令──
Dim e1 As New Employee("Tom")

就诞生对象e1。但temp比e1早诞生。接下来﹐执行指令──
Employee e2( "Lily", 20000 )

它诞生对象e2。此时Employee类别之内容为﹕



图3、类别沟通方式──使用共享资料成员

其中﹐e1及e2各含有一份emp_name及salary资料。然而整个Employee类别才只有一份temp资料﹐对象共同分享此temp内之资料。Employee类别里的任何对象皆可视temp为其资料成员来使用﹐但事实上只有一个temp。由于它属于所有的对象﹐所以各对象皆可经由程序成员存取temp资料。重要的是﹐temp已在Employee类别的保护之中﹐藉由它传递资料就无受外界干扰之虞了。
共享资料成员除了供对象之间的沟通之用外﹐还有其重要的用途──记载类别的状况﹐例如记录该类别共诞生了多少对象。请看个例子﹕

'ex05.bas
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
'-----------------------------------------------------------
Class Employee
Private emp_name As String
Private salary As Double

Private Shared counter As Integer
Private Shared sum As Double

Shared Sub New()
counter = 0
sum = 0
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal na As String, ByVal s As Double)
emp_name = na
salary = s
counter = counter + 1
sum = sum + salary
End Sub
Public Sub Display_Avg()
MessageBox.Show("The number of employee : " + str(counter))
MessageBox.Show("Average salary : " + str(sum / counter))
End Sub
Public Sub Display()
MessageBox.Show("Name: " + emp_name + " Salary: " + str(salary))
End Sub
End Class
'-------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.WinForms.Form
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Form1 = Me
'This call is required by the Win Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'TODO: Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Public Overrides Sub Dispose()
MyBase.Dispose()
components.Dispose()
End Sub
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
......
#End Region
Protected Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim e1 As New Employee("Tom", 25000)
Dim e2 As New Employee("Lily", 20000)
e1.Display()
e2.Display()
e1.Display_Avg()
End Sub
End Class

此程序输出﹕
Name: Tom Salary: 25000
Name: Lily Salary: 20000
The number of employee : 2
Average salary : 22500

counter 记录类别中含有多少对象。sum 储存各对象的salary值之总和。于此﹐必须给予 counter及 sum初值。共享变量之初值设定格式为──

Shared Sub New()
共享资料成员1 = 初值
共享资料成员2 = 初值
......
End Sub

计算机开始执行，诞生第1个对象时﹐各共享成员就诞生了﹐而且设定了初值。此时Employee类别的内容为﹕



对象诞生时﹐会去执行建构者程序──Public Sub New(...)，先把各资料存入对象之私有成员中﹔同时也执行指令──counter = counter + 1﹐使共享变量 counter值加上 1。此外﹐也执行指令──sum = sum + salary ﹐把e1之salary值加到 sum里头。此时共享变量的内容为﹕



counter 值为 1﹐表示Employee内已诞生一个对象。接着﹐诞生个体e2﹐计算机又执行建构者程序──Public Sub New(...)。它把资料存入对象e2中﹐使 counter加上 1﹐也把e2之salary值加到 sum中。此时﹐共享变量之内容为﹕



注意﹐e1含有 4个资料成员──emp_name、salary、counter 及sum ﹔其值分别为 "Tom"、 25000、 2及 45000。同时e2含有4 个资料成员──emp_name、salary、counter 及 sum﹔其值分别为"Lily"、20000 、2 及 45000。只是e1之 counter值等于e2之 counter值﹐同时e1之sum 值等于e2之 sum值。




2. 共享程序成员
刚才介绍过共享资料成员(Shared Data Member)之观念。共享资料成员是各对象的公用数据成员﹐但并不属于任何对象﹐而是属于类别的。除了资料成员之外，也有共享程序成员，它是属于类别的﹐而并不属于任何对象﹐其不是用来存取某对象内的值﹐而只储存取共享资料成员之值。任何一般程序成员皆可呼叫共享程序成员来存取共享成员之值。例如﹕

'ex06.bas
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
'----------------------------------------------------------------------
Class Employee
Private emp_name As String
Private salary As Double

Private Shared counter As Integer
Private Shared sum As Double

Shared Sub New()
counter = 0
sum = 0
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal na As String, ByVal s As Double)
emp_name = na
salary = s
counter = counter + 1
sum = sum + salary
End Sub
Shared Function NumberOfObject() As Integer
NumberOfObject = counter
End Function
Shared Function Average() As Double
Average = sum / counter
End Function
Public Sub Display()
MessageBox.Show("Name: " + emp_name + " Salary: " + str(salary))
End Sub
End Class
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.WinForms.Form
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Form1 = Me
'This call is required by the Win Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'TODO: Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Public Overrides Sub Dispose()
MyBase.Dispose()
components.Dispose()
End Sub
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
.......
#End Region
Protected Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim e1 As New Employee("Tom", 25000)
Dim e2 As New Employee("Lily", 20000)
MessageBox.Show(str(e1.NumberOfObject()) + " objects")
MessageBox.Show("Avgerage: " + str(e2.Average()))
Dim e3 As New Employee("Linda", 15000)
MessageBox.Show(str(e3.NumberOfObject()) + " objects")
MessageBox.Show("Average: " + str(e3.Average()))
End Sub
End Class

此程序输出：

2 objects
Average: 22500
3 objects
Average: 20000

还记得吗﹖一般程序成员是用来处理对象内的资料﹐所以呼叫一般程序成员之格式为──
对象. 一般程序成员

呼叫这程序成员的目的是来处理此对象之内容。共享程序成员之目的并非在于处理对象之内容﹐而是存取共享资料成员之值或处理些有关于整个类别的事情。因之﹐呼叫共享程序成员的格式为──

类别 . 共享程序成员

呼叫这共享程序成员之目的是来处理此类别之资料或有关之事情。
一种格式──
对象 . 共享程序成员

每个对象皆来自某个类别﹐VB看到对象名称时﹐可对应到它的类别﹐所
以VB在编译这种格式时﹐会将之转换成为﹕

类别 . 共享程序成员

亦即﹐指令── c1.NameOfObject()
及 c2.NameOfObject()

皆会转换成为－－ Employee.NameOfObject()

同理﹐e1.Average()也就相当于Employee.Average() 了。
由上述可知共享程序成员并非处理某个特定的对象值﹐所以没有必要去呼叫一般的程序成员。VB也就禁止共享程序成员呼叫一般的程序成员。不过﹐反之一般程序成员却可以呼叫共享程序成员﹐以便必要时可藉由共享程序成员来取得有关于整个类别的资料。例如：

'ex07.bas
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class Employee
Private emp_name As String
Private salary As Double

Private Shared counter As Integer
Private Shared sum As Double

Shared Sub New()
counter = 0
sum = 0
End Sub
Public Sub New(ByVal na As String, ByVal s As Double)
emp_name = na
salary = s
counter = counter + 1
Me.sum = Employee.sum + salary
End Sub
Public Function GetSalary() As Double
GetSalary = salary
End Function
Shared Function NumberOfObject() As Integer
NumberOfObject = counter
End Function
Shared Function Average() As Double
Dim k As Double
Average = Employee.sum / Employee.counter
' salary = salary + 2000 ' Error!
' k = GetSalary() ' Error!
End Function
Public Sub Disp()
MessageBox.Show(str(Employee.NumberOfObject()) + " objects")
MessageBox.Show("Avgerage: " + str(Employee.Average()))
End Sub
End Class
'-----------------------------------------------------
Public Class Form1
Inherits System.WinForms.Form
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()
Form1 = Me
'This call is required by the Win Form Designer.
InitializeComponent()
'TODO: Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call
End Sub
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Public Overrides Sub Dispose()
MyBase.Dispose()
components.Dispose()
End Sub
#Region " Windows Form Designer generated code "
.......
#End Region
Protected Sub Form1_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
Dim e1 As New Employee("Tom", 25000)
Dim e2 As New Employee("Lily", 20000)
e2.disp()
Dim e3 As New Employee("Linda", 15000)
e3.disp()
End Sub
End Class

此程序输出：
2 objects
Average: 22500
3 objects
Average: 20000









共享程序，上述Disp()是一般程序成员，此程序内的指令：

Public Sub Disp()
MessageBox.Show(str(Employee.NumberOfObject()) + " objects")
......
End Sub

这就呼叫了共享的NumberOfObject()程序。
共享程序不可呼叫一般程序，上述Average()是共享程序，它不能呼叫一般程序，所以Average()内的指令有错：

Shared Function Average() As Double
Dim k As Double
Average = Employee.sum / Employee.counter
' salary = salary + 2000 ' Error!
' k = GetSalary() ' Error!
End Function
请记得，共享程序是类别对象（妈妈）的程序，妈妈与小孩各有隐私（封装），小孩呼叫妈妈程序（即共享程序）的格式为：

妈妈 . 共享程序()
例如：Employee.Average()

或 对象 . 共享程序()
例如： e1.Average() 或 Me.Average()。

但妈妈呼叫小孩程序的格式为：

对象 . 一般程序()
例如： e1.Average()。

因为妈妈程序里没有Me参考变量，所以上述的 k = GetSalary()指令相当于k = Me.GetSalary()，就错掉了。请再看一个例子：


'ex08.bas
Imports System.ComponentModel
Imports System.Drawing
Imports System.WinForms
'--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Class Employee
Private emp_name As String
Private salary As Double

Private Shared counter As Integer
Private Shared p(10) As Employee

emp_name = na
salary = s
p(counter) = Me
counter = counter + 1
End Sub
Shared Function GetObject(ByVal index As Integer) As Employee
Dim sp As Employee
If index > counter Or index < 0 Then
sp = Nothing
Else
sp = p(index)
End If
GetObject = sp
End Function
Public Sub Display()
MessageBox.Show("Name: " + emp_name + " Salary: " + str(salary))
End Sub
Shared Sub Disp(ByVal e As Employee)
e.Display()
End Sub
End Class
'-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dim e3 As New Employee("Linda", 15000)
Dim e4 As New Employee("Alvin", 5000)
Dim emp As Employee
emp = Employee.GetObject(2)
Employee.Disp( emp )
emp = Employee.GetObject(1)
Employee.Disp( emp )
End Sub
End Class


此程序输出：
Name: Linda Salary: 15000
Name: Lily Salary: 20000

在妈妈对象里有一个p(10)数组，每次诞生对象时，就将新对象的参考值存入数组里。妈妈程序GetObject(i)则从数组中取出第i个对象，并传回来。妈妈程序使用格式：
对象 . 一般程序()

呼叫小孩的Display()程序。
上述程序相当于：
