Change property name of existing class

Joe

Is there anyway to change the name or add a property to and existing class
in .NET 1.1?

For example if I have a property called Name and I want to change it to
MyName.

Hi Joe,

It depends on whether you have the source code of this assembly.

If yes, just change the property name in the code and re-build it. If no,
we cannot change any property name at runtime. If you really need to change
the name of a property, you can make a sub class from this class, and
change the name of certain property in the derived class.

Sorry I should have explained it better. I would like to change the name at
runtime but I guess it cannot be done.

You can't change anything about an existing class without recompiling the
original class.

You can, however, derive from a class and add another property to reflect
the new name, but the original property will also be available.
