A class can be made sealed in c# using the sealed keyword. When you do that it implies that the class cannot be inhereted. You can extend this functionality to the individual methods as well. In case you want a class to be inhereted excluding one of its methods just make that particular method sealed.

By using keyword sealed .

EX:

sealed class SealedClass
{
}

sealed methods are those methods which cant be overriden in the derived class. making the method sealed does not means that it will be excluded

Hey

sealed (C#.net) equivalent in vb.net is not Shared but its NotInheritable keyword.

Shared (vb.net) is equivalent to static(C#.net).

please reply to answer only if you're very much sure.
