VB.NET: Property with public getter and protected setter
18,822
Sure, the syntax is as follows:
Public Property MyVar As String
Get
Return mMyVar
End Get
Protected Set(value As String)
mMyVar = value
End Set
End Property

In VB.NET is there a way to define a different scope for the getter and the setter of a property?
Something like (this code doesn't work of course):
Public Class MyClass Private mMyVar As String Public ReadOnly Property MyVar As String Get Return mMyVar End Get End Property Protected WriteOnly Property MyVar As String Set(value As String) mMyVar = value End Set End Property End Class
I know that I could just accomplish this with a method that takes the property values as a parameter and sets the private variable. But I'm just curious whether there is a more elegant way that keeps closer to the concept of properties.
