Inheritance Blues
 
I have a problem for which I dont seem to be getting a solution.

I have 3 projects namely Project A,B and C.

In projectA, I have defined a public class ClassA

:

Public Class ClassA
    Public Shared Function ClassAFunction() As String

        Return "Class A"

    End Function


End Class

In ProjectB, I have inherited from the ClassA in ProjectA.

:
Imports ProjectA
Public Class ClassB
    Inherits ProjectA.ClassA

    Public Shared Function ClassBFunction() As String
        Return "Class B"
    End Function


End Class

In ProjectC, I have given a reference to ProjectB.

I am able to access the function present in ClassB but not the functions inherited from ClassA.

eg: ClassB.ClassBFunction() ----- allowed
ClassB.ClassAFunction() ----- not allowed.

But if I overload the ClassAFunction within ClassA, then it is accessible.
eg: ClassB.ClassAFunction() ---- allowed

Could anyone tell me the reason

VB Docs read thusly:
:
Friend Class BaseClass
    Public Sub BaseMethod()
        ' Add code here to define BaseMethod.
    End Sub
End Class

Friend Class DerivedClass
    Inherits BaseClass
        ' Gets BaseMethod from friendly parent
End Class
