    Re: Using readonly properties in a class...

    Like this:

    Private _FieldValue As <some type>

    Public Property Something As <some type>
    Get
    Return _FieldValue
    End Get
    Private Set
    _FieldValue = value
    End Set
    End Property

    The reasopn why I have these read only porperties is becasue these
    particular properties are not set programatically - they are as a result
    of a calualtion of two other properties as shown below...

    public readonly property PSFLiveFactored () as decimal

    return PSFLiveFactored = PSFLive * 1.5
    end get

    I have one readonly property that is derived from an SQL Stored procedure
    (called when the object is instantiated) which selects a row from a view.
    This particular view includes some calculated rows - one of which I want a
    few of my read only properties to contain - as opposed to the way I am
    setting them above. Since I cannot (and do not want anyone to) set this
    property in code (hence a readonly property), how do I actaully set an
    initial value for a read only property?

    Would I have to call a private method in the "Get" area that would then
    retrieve the data from the DB and use that returned value to set the
    property?
