Why Isn't MyBase.New() Working Here?

Hello Everyone.

Please help.

I have some code, excerpted below, that contains a default constructor and
a parameterized constructor.

I am trying to "do the right thing" and call MyBase.New() in the
parameterized constructor, which, at least in this is, is exactly what I
want to do.

However, if I set a breakpoint on the declaration of the parameterized
constructor and then step through the code from the there line by line, I
notice that control flow does not jump to the default constructor when then
MyBase.New() line executes.

Why?

(The side-effect of this is that a class member object never gets
initialized and I NEED to make sure that it get initialized.)

What am I missing?

Please advise.

Thank you.

#Region " Class Members "
    'This class member must exist at all times.
    Private m_objUtility As Worker
    Private m_objInvoiceSummary As InvoiceSummary
#End Region

#Region " Properties "

Public ReadOnly Property Utility() As Worker
    Get
        Return m_objUtility
    End Get
End Property

Public ReadOnly Property InvoiceSummary() As InvoiceSummary
    Get
        Return m_objInvoiceSummary
    End Get
End Property

#End Region

#Region " Constructors "

'This method is the default constructor.
Public Sub New()
    m_objUtility = New Worker()
End Sub

'The method is a parameterized constructor.
Public Sub New(ByRef thisInvoiceSummary As InvoiceSummary)
    ''''THIS CALL SHOULD RUN
    ''''THE DEFAULT CONSTRUCTOR
    ''''AND INITIALIZE THE CLASS
    ''''MEMBER OBJECT.
    MyBase.New()
    m_objInvoiceSummary = thisInvoiceSummary
    CreateInvoiceSummaryTable(thisInvoiceSummary)
End Sub

Because it calls the constructor of the base class. You want to call the
constructor in the same class:

    MyClass.New()

Oooohhhhhhhh!

I get it.

Thank you very much, Armin.
