Hi,

I'm consuming a third party COM dll in .NET. When viewed in the .NET object browser all of it's public R/W properties show up as accessible only via get and set methods (other properties that are R/O *do* appear as properties) I queried this with them and was told this was standard behaviour.

I have some VB6 DLL of my own here so decided to test their assumption. When I add a reference to my own DLL's all of their numerous public properties are exposed normally. Or I should say all except one. Several of the VB controls have a property of the same name and type - and this property is exposed via get_PropertyName() and set_PropertyName() in all of them.

Now obviously the third party developers are incorrect in claiming their DLL is exposed in a normal fashion. But as my DLL indicates there is *something* that causes this behaviour. Anyone know what it is?

Best,
Viv
