Creating a property from a Superclass

[cochoa]

I have a class A which is a superclass of B.
A has a protected attribute "_data". I would like to create a property "data" in B based on this attribute from its superclass (which is visible from B). However, the list of attributes of B does not contain "_data". Can anyone help?

Thx

Hi Cochoa

As A is a superclass of B, B inherits all attributes & methods of A.  You do not need to do anything more.  However, you will not see the attribute appear in class B, is implied due to the inheritance.

Right, but when generating code I would like the code for B containing something like

public new XData data
{
get
                 {
                       return (XData)base.data;
                 }
           }

I could never get the code generation working as I wanted it, so don't use it.  However, EA 3.60 (Beta) has a new code templates feature which may get what you want.
