I'm trying to add another method to my DataProvider class in a custom 4.5.1 module like this:

DataProvider.vb

        Public MustOverride Function UpdateFeederLatest(ByVal ItemID As Integer, ByVal ItemTitle As String, ByVal ItemDate As String) As Integer

I also add this it SqlDataProvider:

        Public Overrides Function UpdateFeederLatest(ByVal ItemID As Integer, ByVal ItemTitle As Integer, ByVal ItemDate As String)
            Return Convert.ToInt32(SqlHelper.ExecuteScalar(ConnectionString, GetFullyQualifiedName("UpdateFeederLatest"), ItemID, ItemTitle, ItemDate))
        End Function

However, it won't allow me to build.

I always get this error message:

"function "UpdateFeederLatest" cannot be declared 'Overrides' because it does not override a function in a base class"

This is very odd, because I've added it to the DataProvider along with the other abstract methods.

Can anyone help me out with this? I have no idea what's causing it.

Thanks Nik.

I don't have a separate SqlDataProvider project. I'm trying to build my first module using this method:

All it does is add a SqlDataProvider.vb class and a DataProvider.vb class. Would this be caused by some weird VS2005 caching problem as logically it makes no sense to me.

Bill, you're a star. Can't believe I missed that!

Much appreciated, it builds fine now.
