Does VB.NET have an equivalent of C# auto property with custom access specifier?

I was simply wondering if in VB.Net there is a shorthand equivalent to this kind of C# including the private setter:

pu开发者_运维百科blic string Test { get; private set; }

Can someone please tell me the shortest way to achieve this in VB.Net?

Sorry, this is not possible in VB.NET:

Auto-implemented properties are convenient and support many programming scenarios. However, there are situations in which you cannot use an auto-implemented property and must instead use standard, or expanded, property syntax.

You have to use expanded property-definition syntax if you want to do any one of the following:

• ...
• Create properties that are WriteOnly or ReadOnly.
• ...

Unfortunately, you can't use different accesibilities for auto property accessors in VB.NET. You have to manually write the property code.

Like this:

Private _test As String

Public Property Test() As String

Get
    Return _test
End Get

Private Set(ByVal Value As String)
    _test = Value
End Set

End Property

No alternative.
