Class Oven
Private _temperature As Integer
Public Sub SetTemperature（ByVal temperature As Integer）
_temperature = temperature
If _temperature 100。0 Then
Throw New Exception（〃100。0 verification failed〃）
End If
End Sub
Public Function AreYouPreHeated（） As Boolean
' Check if oven temperature matches prescribed temperature
Return False
End Function
End Class
The bolded code illustrates a verification much like that used in CurrencyTrader； which
verifies the parameter temperature for a specific value。 While the verification is useful for a
particular test； it is not useful in the big picture。 As the code is written； the only valid value of
temperature is 100。0； anything else will generate an exception。 It is definitely not a solution。
To get around this problem； you could use Visual Basic conditional statements。 Condi
tional statements are special keywords that allow a developer to define whether a piece of
source code is piled。 Following is an example of source code that includes conditional
statements。
Class TestCurrencyTrader
Inherits CurrencyTrader
Public Sub InitializeExchangeRate（）
ExchangeRate = 100。0
#If INTEGRATE_TESTS Then
if ExchangeRate 100。0 Then
Throw New Exception（〃100。0 verification failed〃）
End If
#End If
End Sub
End Class
The conditional statement always starts with a hash character （#）； immediately followed
by a keyword—If in this example。 Between the #If and #End If is code that is conditionally
piled。 This is known as a preprocessor directive。 In this example； the condition means
to pile the code contained within the #If and #End If block if the value INTEGRATE_TESTS
is true。
You can define a pilation identifier like INTEGRATE_TESTS in the source code or in your
IDE。 In Visual Basic Express； you can assign INTEGRATE_TESTS as follows：

1。 Right…click your project and select Properties。
2。 Select the pile tab。
3。 Click the Advanced pile Options button。
4。 Add the INTEGRATE_TESTS value to the Custom Constants text box。
Using Partial Classes for Verification
Conditional pilation is useful when you want to include or remove code depending on a
configuration。 However； some programmers will frown upon having conditional pilation
code within a function； as that would be a maintenance nightmare。 Another solution is to use
the Partial class keyword in conjunction with conditional pilation statements。
Thus far in all of the examples； whenever we defined a class； all of the methods and code
were declared between the Class/End Class pair。 By using partial classes； it is possible to declare
a class in multiple places。 When the Visual Basic piler piles the source code； the individual
class pieces will be assembled into a single class definition。 For our test code； we can create an
implementation partial class and a conditionally piled test partial class implementation。
The following is the modified TestCurrencyTrader class that could be used to test the state
without exposing the state。
Partial Class TestCurrencyTrader
Inherits CurrencyTrader
Public Sub InitializeExchangeRate（）
ExchangeRate = 100。0
End Sub
End Class
#if INTEGRATE_TESTS Then
Partial Class TestCurrencyTrader
Inherits CurrencyTrader
Public Sub VerifyExchangeRate（ByVal value As Double）
If ExchangeRate value Then
Throw New Exception（〃ExchangeRate verification failed〃）
End If
End Sub
End Class
#End If
The keyword Partial prefixes the Class keyword。 The first implementation of
TestCurrencyTrader is an example of not exposing state。 The second implementation of
TestCurrencyTrader； which is declared in the context of a conditional pilation statement；
contains the method VerifyExchangeRate（）。 This is a verification method that tests the
ExchangeRate property for a particular value。

■Note You can use partial classes only in the context of a single assembly； as the Partial keyword cannot
be used across assembly boundaries。 When I say “single assembly；” I am referring to the piled pieces of
source code illustrated in Chapter 1。 In other words； if you define a partial class in a library； then all
pieces of the partial class need to be defined in the library。
Partial classes make it simple to separate functionality into various source code files。 This
example demonstrates using partial classes to manipulate internal state of a class without
violating the do…not…expose…internal…state rule。 Another use of partial classes is in the context
of code generators； where one source code file contains the custom code； and the other source
code file contains the generator code。
■Note Only one part of a partial class needs to be explicitly qualified as Partial。 The piler is smart
enough to realize that if it sees one part as Partial； then all the other parts must also be partial （even if they
aren’t explicitly qualified with the Partial keyword）。
Finishing the Base Class
The ExchangeRate property is one of the pieces of shared functionality。 Another piece of shared
functionality we want to implement is the calculation of the exchange rate。 We’ll do this with
ConvertValue（） and ConvertValueInverse（） methods； which convert a currency from one value
to another using multiplication or division。 The following shows the methods in the pleted
base class implementation of CurrencyTrader。
Public MustInherit Class CurrencyTrader
Private _exchangeRate As Double
Protected Property ExchangeRate（） As Double
Get
Return _exchangeRate
End Get
Set （ByVal Value As Double）
_exchangeRate = Value
End Set
End Property
Protected Function ConvertValue（ByVal input As Double） As Double
Return _exchangeRate * input
End Function
Protected Function ConvertValueInverse（ByVal input As Double） As Double
Return input / _exchangeRate
End Function
End Class

The bolded code highlights the methods that convert the currency from one unit to another。
Notice that there is no declaration of specific currency units； because the base class is a utility
class used to help us realize an active trader or hotel trader implementation。
■Note Base class functionality； even when appearing trivial； is defined to ensure consistency in implemen
tation。 Without consistency； you encounter the problem where one implementation does one thing and another
implementation does something pletely different。
This pletes our test code。 Now we will implement the active trader and hotel trader
