ReadOnly significance?

[Jon Davis]

What is the difference between a Property block that has a ReadOnly keyword
and a Get block, versus a Property block that has only a Get block?

Thanks,
Jon

What is the difference between a Property block that has a ReadOnly
keyword
and a Get block, versus a Property block that has only a Get block?

The compiler won't "eat" a property with a 'Get' block only but without the
'ReadOnly' attribute.

A Property that just has a Get block and does not indicate that it is
ReadOnly is illegal. If there is only a Get block, then you MUST indicate
ReadOnly.

There is no choice between the 2.

Thanks. I presumed otherwise only because C# has a readonly keyword
somewhere, and I never use it in my get-only properties.
