Poperty with parameter in VB to C#

[Bom]

hi,

I have following VB code :
default Public ReadOnly Property Item(ByVal Index As
Integer) As DataColumnHeader
Get
Return CType(list.Item(Index),DataColumnHeader)
End Get
End Property

How can I in C# pass an argument to a property (getter
accessor)?
I started as follows but thats not right.

public DataColumnHeader Item (????)
{
get
{return (DataColumnHeader)this.List.Item[???];}

}
Thanks
Bom

In C#, a property which takes an argument is called an indexer. You
don't get to use names with indexers, either - you can use an attribute
to specify the name which is visible to other languages, but you can
only define one indexer with any given signature. The syntax is
something like:

public DataColumnHeader this [int index]
{
get
{
return (DataColumnHeader)this.List[index];
}
}
