VB Net Properties - Public Get Private Set

Question

I figured I would ask    but is there a way to have the Get part of a property available as public  but keep the set as private   Otherwise I am thinking I need two properties or a property and a method  just figured this would be cleaner

I find marking the property as readonly cleaner than the above answers  I believe vb14 is required   Private  Name As String  Public ReadOnly Property Name   As String     Get         Return  Name     End Get End Property   This can be condensed to  Public ReadOnly Property Name As String   https   msdn microsoft com en-us library dd293589 aspx f 255 amp MSPPError -2147217396

One additional tweak worth mentioning  I m not sure if this is a  NET 4 0 or Visual Studio 2010 feature  but if you re using both you don t need to declare the value parameter for the setter mutator block of code   Private  name As String  Public Property Name   As String     Get         Return  name     End Get     Private Set          name   value     End Set End Property

I m not sure what the minimum required version of Visual Studio is  but in VS2015 you can use    Public ReadOnly Property Name As String   It is read-only for public access but can be privately modified using  Name

If you are using VS2010 or later it is even easier than that  Public Property Name as String   You get the private properties and Get Set completely for free   see this blog post  Scott Gu s Blog

Yes  quite straight forward   Private  name As String  Public Property Name   As String     Get         Return  name     End Get     Private Set ByVal value As String           name   value     End Set End Property
