Newbie Proble

I have created one project, that I am now referencing in an other. In the new project I seem to be seeing properties of classes as get_Amount and set_Amount

Which is aweful to write code quickly to, for the quickinfo dropdown then becomes useless, for you simple want to select Amount

Is this a "feature" or a bug that is in the ide

Regards

I may be answering the wrong question, but all properties in C# and VB.NET
are actually implemented as methods named get_XXX and set_XXX, with some
metadata markup added to the assembly (this plumbing is more obvious exposed
in MC++ and J#). There are several CLS rules that govern property interop,
and both VB and C# are hardwired to follow the CLS when creating their
properties. So are you not able to call the properties directly? Or is it
just a problem with Intellisense? What version of Visual Studio are you
running?

I hope I can convey this well. When setting/getting a property of a class inside its own project, I get

foo.Amoun

When I use intellisense in another project that has a reference to the other projects' class library, I get

foo.get_Amoun

foo.set_Amoun

I would love to have just foo.Amount. Is this a studio 2003 problem

So is it just an Intellisense problem, or do you actually get a compiler
error with foo.Amount from the second project?

Hey Mickey,

I just wanted to thank you for a great book. Yours was one of the first
I bought when I made the switch from VB6 to C# and I've been using it
ever since. Keep up the good work.

Cool, thanks for that.
I'm currently planning the update and building sample code, so feel free to
drop me a note if there are any topics that you'd like to see included (or
changed) in the Whidbey version of the book. My email address is [my first
