Member Property (Delphi Prism and ASP Classic Cross Reference Guide)

Like Delphi, Delphi Prism uses a special property keyword to both get and set the values of properties. The read and write keywords are used to get and set the value of the property directly or through an accessor method. For a read-only property, leave out the write portion of the declaration.

Prism also supports a shortcut syntax called implicit fields (known as auto-generated properties in C#):

property CyborgAge: Integer;

You can give properties any visibility you wish (private, protected, etc). It is common in Delphi and Delphi Prism to start member fields with "F" (FCName in our example) and drop the "F" with properties that manage member fields (CyborgName in our example).

Cyborg = class(System.Object)
private
  FCName: String;
public
  property CyborgName: String read FCName write FCName;
end;

ASP classic uses the property keyword and special Get and Let methods to both get and set the values of properties.

Class Cyborg
 Private FCyborgName
 
 Public Property Get CyborgName()
  CyborgName = FCyborgName
 End Property

 Public Property Let CyborgName(pCyborgName)
  FCyborgName = pCyborgName
 End Property

End Class
