In Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002, when you use Microsoft Visual Basic .NET to create an application that contains a CodeModel object, and then you examine the CanOverride property of a public sub procedure, the property returns a Boolean value of True instead of a Boolean value of False.

By default, public methods use the NotOverridable modifier in Visual Basic .NET. Therefore, the Boolean value of False is incorrect.
