Question

I have a class classed class1.vb, it has a public property named prop1 with a get and a set clause. I add one to the value passed in the set clause and in the get clause return the value variable as determined in the set clause. However, I get an error on the variable in the get clause…

Public Property prop1()
    Get 
        Return value 
    End Get 
    Set (value)
        value = value +1
    End Set 
End Property 

any ideas?

Answer 1

Try setting the type of the property and try changing your value variable to something else, since the Set is using it’s own local variable of the same name:

Private myValue As Integer

Public Property prop1() As Integer
  Get 
    Return MyValue 
  End Get 
  Set (ByVal value As Integer)
    MyValue = value
  End Set
End Property
