This is the same as writing a Visual Basic function. Now that we have defined our getter and setter methods we can add our own method to perform a task. Note that after you type in the Public Property line of the declaration, Visual Studio automatically creates a template for the Get and Set methods, which should be filled in as follows: Public Class clsBankAccount To demonstrate this we will add to our class to provide methods to get and set the account number and name. Public Property propertyName() As datatype The syntax for get and Set methods is as follows: This is achieved using Get and Set methods. Since we have declared our class data properties to be private, we need to provide methods which will give us access to those properties from our code.
Now that we have defined the properties of our class, the next task is to define methods that will give us access to our data. True to the concept of data encapsulation we will be creating methods to access these values later, so will mark them as Private: Public Class clsBankAccount We can now extend our BankAccount class to add member variables to hold the account name and number. Object-oriented programming convention dictates that data should be encapsulated in the class and accessed and set only through the methods of the class (typically called getters and setters). This is the key to what is called data encapsulation. Private members can only be accessed by methods contained in the class. Public members can be accessed from outside the object.
Class members or properties are essentially variables embedded into the class.
