Hi,

I am new to C# and .NET so bear with me if I don't use the correct terms.

I was writing a C# test app (in BDS2006) using this 3rd party library in a 
.NET DLL. The documentation stated:

---------------------------------------
Note that when calling property read methods that require input parameters 
using C#, "get_" must be appended to the property name. This is an 
idiosyncrasy of the C# language and is not a naming convention inconsistency 
within this API.

---------------------------------------

It seems to be the case and I was wondering why. Seems kind of odd to have 
this requirement.

Regards, Frederick C. Wilt
