Readonly at runtime

[elziko]

How do I make a property of a class Readonly but only at RUNTIME?

I want to be able to edit the value in a property browser after dragging my
component on a form but then not allow any code to change this property when
the code is running.

TIA

How do I make a property of a class Readonly but only at RUNTIME?

Untested:

\\\
Public Property...
...
Set(ByVal Value As Foo)
If Me.DesignMode Then
m_Foo = Value
End If
End Set
End Property
///

You could do this if the class is a control...

int _myInt;

public int MyInt
{
get{ return _myInt;}
set
{
if(DesignMode)
_myInt=value;
}
}

Sorry, VB forum...

dim myInt as Integer
public property MyInt as Integer
get
return myInt
end get
set
if me.DesignMode then
myInt=value
end if
end set
end property

Elziko,
I would modify Herfried's slightly:

Public Property...
...
Set(ByVal Value As Foo)
If Me.DesignMode Then
m_Foo = Value
Else
Throw New NotSupportedException
End If
End Set
End Property

Which will give a glaring runtime error if you attempt to set the property.

Hope this helps
Jay
