Why base classes must have default new? - vb.net

Question

I got this error
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/visual-basic/misc/bc30387
And I wonder why.
What about if I never want to call parameterless new in both base and derived classes?
I can do that if I don't use inheritance. Why using inheritance means I can no longer do so?
To repeat the issue
What's the explanation? So NOT every classes need parameterless new but classes with inheritance must? That doesn't make sense.
What about if I never call derived class with parameter less constructor. I don't intent for the class to ever be constructed without parameter.
For example, say, I want to create a class without parameterless constructor. I can do that right.
But say I want to split the class into two. Parent and child class. I want BOTH not to ever have parameterless constructor.
It seems that I can't do that can I? If such is the case, can anyone please confirm it.

Answer 1

The link says that if you have an explicit constructor in your base class with parameters and no parameterless one than you cannot leave your derived class without constructor. Because VB.NET cannot create an implicit constructor for derived class.
If you don't write any constructors for both, it is perfectly valid.
public class Base
End Class
Public Class Derived
Inherits Base
End Class
However you cannot declare a derived class without an explicit constructor like below. Because VB.NET cannot determine how to initialize base class.
public class Base
Public sub New(ByVal Item As Integer)
End Sub
End Class
Public Class Derived
Inherits Base
End Class
To overcome this issue you can declare a default constructor on derived class which calls base class constructor with a default value.
public class Base
Public sub New(ByVal Item As Integer)
End Sub
End Class
Public Class Derived
Inherits Base
Public Sub New()
MyBase.New(5)
End Sub
End Class
