Property question

[SStory]

I want to define a base class that has a property, "FirstName"

that is public readonly

but can be set by itself and other objects that inherit this baseclass
(protected)

I can't seem to do that.

The docs show ..

Property Firstname
<attributes>Get
End Get
<attributes>Set
End Set
End property

I wanted to
Public Get
and
Protected Set

but this is not allowed.

Any ideas appreciated..

I was afraid of that.

AFAIK, the only way to work around this is to create 2 methods

Private m_FirstName as String

Public Function GetFirstName as String
Return m_FirstName
End Function

Protected Sub SetFirstName(ByVal firstName as String)
FirstName = firstName
End Sub

That is unfortunate. But I can deal with it.
Looks like Microsoft would have allowed a public get and a protected set for
such cases.

Thanks,

That's a "FAQ" and a lot of ppl are annoyed about the fact that it's
impossible to define property Get/Set with different modifiers.

Ich kann Deutch sprechen, aber nicht zehr gut. Since I learned
Spanish my German and Spanish get confused.

Really good. I think it's better than by bad English.
