make the sub overridable

[seco]

Hi

i have downloaded a dll class for .NET and i use it very well ..
im my work i found that i need to make a sun overridable and really it is not .
in vb6 i was doing this by hacking this dll and make the sub or property overridable .can i do that for this dll?

thanks in advance.

Not without the source code. There exist some decompilers, but I don't know how good they are, and it is probably not legal if the developer don't give you the source code in the first place.

Maybe a better question to ask is, why do you want to override the sub?

thanks for reply
i want to override in order to
write my own code on it with it's huge content of other properties and methods with no touch ..

Why can't you use Shadows or Overloads? We have discussed this before: http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=17786

Yek yek, thanks for the textbook answer on what overriding allows you to do.. I meant what is it specifically that makes you think there is no other way than override?
