ReadOnly Property

[orangesocks]

Hi,
is there the possibility to declare an auto property of a class as readonly ?
IF yes, can you share a little sample because I tried various combinations and all failed

Giuseppe,
I don't think you can create a readonly auto property.
But try this:

Code: Select all

CLASS Example
    // Not strictly readonly but can only be changed inside class
    PROPERTY NAME AS STRING AUTO GET PRIVATE SET
CONSTRUCTOR(cName AS STRING)                    
	SELF:Name := cName
END CLASS

or this:

Code: Select all

CLASS Example2
    // Really readonly. Can only be assigned in the constructor
    PROPERTY NAME AS STRING GET _Name
    PRIVATE INITONLY _Name AS STRING
CONSTRUCTOR(cName AS STRING)                    
	SELF:_Name := cName
END CLASS

Robert,
thanks for the explanation. Both work.
