how to use set and get methods in visual basic?

I'm kind of confuse on how to use ge开发者_运维技巧t and set in vb

how would i access the get/set method within the class and when i instantiate the class somewhere else?

in java i would make a 2 methods call like get_item set_item and i can just use the the method name i made. to retrieve or set within the class/object or when i instantiate it somewhere else. but in vb there is a property method and 2 methods inside(set,get)? i'm confuse... on how exactly to access these...

so for example if make a property call thing and made a property mstrThing

    Property Thing() As String

    Get
        Return mstrThing
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)
        mstrThing = value
    End Set

End Property

how would i access Thing's get and set methods?

Use property name within the instance method,

Thing="Hello" 

To access properties outside the class, you have to specify public access modifier.

Dim obj as New ClassName
obj.Thing="Hello"

When an assignment operator is used to assign a value, the set accessor will be invoked.
