Arguments
| Attributes | An optional list of one or more attributes that describe meta information for am entity, such as for example the [TestMethod] attribute on a method containing tests in a MsTest class library. Please note that Attributes must be on the same line or suffixed with a semi colon when they are written on the line above that keyword. |
| Modifiers | An optional list of modifiers that specify the visibility or scope of the entity, allowed values are STATIC, FREEZE and FINAL |
| <idClass> | A valid identifier name for the class. A class is an entity and, as such, shares the same name space as other entities. This means that it is not possible to have a class and a global variable, for example, with the same name. |
| FROM <idParentClass> | The name of an existing class (called a superclass) from which the new class inherits methods and instance variables (with the exception of HIDDEN). X# does NOT allow multiple inheritance. |
| SHARING <idParentClass> | This clause is not supported by X#. |
| IMPLEMENTS <idInterface> | The name(s) of the interface(s) that this class implements |
| ClassMembers | This may be a list of variable declarations, method declarations and inline method implementations |
| [CLASS] METHOD | This implements one or more methods outside of the class declaration. The CLASS keyword indicates that it is a STATIC method, as opposed to an INSTANCE method. |
