I placed a large code block in a C# to VB.NET converter, and it converted fine except for the following propery.

   [ConfigurationProperty("Employees", IsDefaultCollection = true)]
   public EmployeeCollection Employees
   {

      get { return (EmployeeCollection) base["Employees"]; }

   }

Can somebody convert this for me. It's the base word that's throwing me off. Let me know if you need to see more code.
