private property

[Simon]

Is possible to make visible on property page a private property inherited
from a usercontrol ?

Ex

public class A : UserControl
{
private:
__property set_Visible( bool visibled)
{
....
}
__property bool get_Visible();
{
....
}
}


public class B : A
{
public:
__property set_Visible( bool visibled)
{
....
}
__property bool get_Visible();
{
....
}
}


The property Visible on class B is not visible on ide property page.

Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, I don't know enough about the property page in the IDE to
answer your question directly, but I can say that at face value it doesn't
seem possible. Private members (including properties) are not accessible to
derived classes. What is the problem you are trying to solve?

Cheerio!

Have you tried using "friend"... I.e., place "friend
class B" inside class A...

Unfortunately, friend classes are not supported for __gc or __value classes.
This is because the CLR does not have any way to represent type friendship,
and since the CLR enforces the accessibility of members a program that tries
to access a private member of another class will not run.

Hope that makes sense. Cheerio!
