| 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.

??????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting :-) I have been using C# for some time now and have never come 
across any such convention.

The normal property declaration is :

class Thing
{
  private string name;

  public string Name
  {
    get { return name; }
    set { name = value; }
  }
}

However, the quote that you make says something about read methods that 
require input parameters; the only thing I can see that satisifies that 
would be an indexer (array property) :

class Thing
{
  private Dictionary<string, Stuff> stuffList;

  public Stuff this[string index]
  {
    get { return stuffList[index]; }
  }
}

But in no case that I know of would you ever call the accessor method, which 
does get compiled to a hidden method called something like get_Stuff.

Do the docs give any examples of what they are talking about ?
