Setting And Getting Public Properties

I am not 100% sure how public properties are supposed to be used but I intend to use it to store the current user’s name and email. It could also be used to store blog information momentarily.

Private mstrName As String
Public Property Name() As String
        Get
            Name = mstrName
           ' Returns default value if nothing has changed it
        End Get
        Set(ByVal pstrName As String)
            mstrName  = pstrName
           'Sets the name to be the newly entered value
        End Set
 End Property

The information can then be retrieved or set as follows:

Dim settingsClass As New 'yourClassName'

Response.Write(settingsClass.Name)
'Returns Cesar
settingsClass.Name = "John"
'Assigns 'John' to the name property
Response.Write(settingsClass.Name)
'Returns John
