custom UserControl with Proprety named "ReadOnly" in VB.NET

I am creating a custom control (Inherits UserControl) and my control
containt a TextBox control. TextBox control has a Property called
"ReadOnly". I would like to expose this property outside my own control, but
it seems impossible because when I write:

Public Property ReadOnly() as Boolean
....

The compilter treats ReadOnly as a Modifier and does not allow this
contruct. Can I expose a property of my control under a different name (so I
would create a property "_ReadOnly" and expose it as "ReadOnly")

It is very important for me to have a property called "ReadOnly" in my
control (excatly like TextBox does) to have a coherent code.

Any clues?

Hi everyone, I'm not entirely sure if this is the best way of going about it, but here's the scenario.......... I have two datagrid, each bound to a datatable which have checkbox columns. There are two buttons between the datagrids, "Add" and "Remove". They basically remove rows from one grid to the other, only those with the checkbox ticked.

Hello, Is it possible to have a class that has "readonly" properties for some classes and can be written by others? The reason I want this is that some of my classes need to expose their "status", but I need to be ensure that this is only updated by the class that "owns" them, and is not updateable by anything else. Also, I'd rather these classes pass their "status" by reference instead of by value, so any other object querying this...

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
