case sensitivity

[crosser]

I have class written in C# with elements:

1. Private variable: aaa
2. Protected overridable property AAA

the only differrence in names is case sensitivity.

Is it possible to shadow variable aaa in inherited class using Visual Basic
?
I can't find a solution because of Visual Basic case insensitivity...

The best way to do this is to name your private variables _aaa and your
property as AAA or perhaps Aaa

I often write in C# and the convert to VB using a translation tool. This
method works just fine.

yeah, of course I know that, but unfortunately it is not my piece of code.
I can't modify base class. Only what I can do is inherit it and shadow this
bloody property. But I can't find out how to do it in VB because of that
names.

Any other ideas ?

Crosser,

You should not be able to reach that variable.

In C# you should not use as well two names which do destinct them only from
there cases if they are in whatever way public.

That is against the CLS-Compliant code.

I hope this helps,

Write your derived class in C# which doesn't have this problem? Obviously
the original base was written in C# otherwise they wouldn't have been able
to use those names.

This is per-se a bad thing. Two identifiers should always differ in more
than the case only.
Is it possible to shadow variable aaa in inherited class using Visual

What exactly do you want to archieve by shadowing the variable?

I'm really missing something here, because I don't see where case
insensitivity has anything to do with this...

You can't shadow aaa because it's private. It's not accessible to the
child class.

You shouldn't have any problem overriding AAA. The private aaa variable
should be irrelevant. You can also shadow AAA without problems,
although I'd be dubious about doing that.

What's the problem you're having exactly? Are you sure aaa is private?
