Declaring Property in ASP.NET 4.0 on VB

Question

User-2089506584 posted

Hi,

I haven't check yet all the new features of ASP.NET 4.0 but I'm wondering if one of those features (VB syntax) is declaration of class properties oppose to C# in less code.

VB.NET (18 lines)
    Private _FirstName As String
    Public Property FirstName() As String
        Get
            Return _FirstName
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _FirstName = value
        End Set
    End Property

    Private _LastName As String
    Public Property LastName() As String
        Get
            Return _LastName
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As String)
            _LastName = value
        End Set
    End Property

C# (2 lines)
public string FirstName{ get; set; }
public string LastName{ get; set; }

cheers,

imperialx

In VB now you will be able create the same property with below mentioned syntax

Public Property FirstName As String

Public Property LastName As String

Public Property FirstName As String

But I get this error "Property without a 'ReadOnly' or 'WriteOnly' specifier must provide both a 'Get' and a 'Set'."
