Here is an example,

default public property phone(ByVal Location As String) As String
get
return colphones.item(Location)
end get
set(ByVal Value As String)
if colphones.ContainsKey(Location) Then
colphones.Item(Location) = Value
else
colphones.add(Location, Value)
end if
end set
end Property

* Normaly we will need code like this to use the phone property
Dim myperson as new Person()
MyPerson.Phone("home") = "555-1234"

*But with the property marked as Default we can use,
MyPerson("home") = "555-1234"

lblTitle = "Top Ten Things"

lblTitle.Caption = "Top Ten Things"

>VB.NET does away with the concept of default properties and methods in most circumstances. So the first form won't work in VB.NET. You must use the second form.
