Get Statement |
Get( ) [ statements ] End Get
Program code to be executed when the Property Get procedure is called
Defines a Property Get procedure that returns a property value to the caller
The Get statement can only be used within a Property...End Property construct.
The property value can be returned either by using the Return statement or by assigning the value to a variable whose name is the same as the property. For example:
Public Property MyProp As String Private sSomeVar as String Property Get( ) Return sSomeVar End Get ... End Property
or:
Public Property MyProp As String Private sSomeVar as String Property Get( ) MyProp = sSomeVar End Get ... End Property
The value returned by a property is usually the value of a Private variable. This adheres to accepted object-oriented techniques by protecting the property value from accidental modification.
The Property Get statement in VB 6 corresponds to the Get statement in VB.NET. Though the purpose and basic operation of the two constructs is identical, the syntax of the VB.NET construct is vastly simplified and more intuitive.
