Property Access Modifiers

[Bob Weiner]

Is it possible to create a property and specify different access modifiers
for the get and set methods? From the property definition it appears that
you can define attributes but not access modifiers. I have never used
attributes so I don't know if they are useful for this purpose.

What I want to do is to create an 'Entry' class that will be used by two
other classes. One class will create the 'Entry', assign limits, a default
value ... The other class is the user interface. This class should have
permission to read all the properties but only set the value.

I believe that this can be accomplished with a protected constructor and
read only properties but I am curious if there is a way to control this on a
higher level. I have ran into similar problems in the past and would like
to hear how the more experienced tackle this.
thanks,
bob

Bob,

Not yet, but it should be possible in the upcoming v2.

Hi Bob,

Thanks for you posting in the group!

What I want to do is to create an 'Entry' class that will be used by two
other classes. One class will create the 'Entry', assign limits, a default
value ... The other class is the user interface. This class should have
permission to read all the properties but only set the value.

How about to create 2 deferent sets of properties, one with all permissions
and protected access modifiers , and the other with only read permission
and public access modifiers, but they both focus the same set of member
variables.
