Bonnie,
Thanks for your reply. That is what I ended up doing, but I would have prefered to only have one property name where I could only set it privately and get it publicly.
The more I thought about this I figured it would be a nightmare for the compiler. I am trying to never access the private members directly but always use a property, but sometimes I don't want to expose the set publicly (wow never and always in the same sentence lol <s>).

Ohh well better to ask than to wonder.

Again thanks.

Einar

>Nope. Victor's correct. But, keep in mind that you don't *have* to have a set, so you could leave it out of the public property, which would essentially make that property read-only.
