property name

[rodchar]

hey all,

how would i get the name of the property and not the value it's storing?

For instance,

Public Property mFirstName as String
return _dr.firstName
End property

i just need the value "mFirstName" and not the value of it. How would i
reference that?

thanks,
rodchar
