Setter methods not visible from property dialog

[ajaxx]

I just noticed something that you might want to be aware of.  Its easy enough to work around.  I am working with a model I opened a class Volume.  In it I made an attribute as follows:

m_quantity : uint

The language binding for the class is C#.  I click on the attribute and then selected the property checkbox.  It brought up a window with the following items:

Name: [ box ]
Getter: [ box ]
<blank space>
Stereotype: <Greyed>
Get Scope: [Public] Set Scope: <disabled>
Read and Write checkboxes both checked.

However, I cant get this thing to expose a public setter property.  Any idea why these would magically disappear from me?

Hi Aj,

It's a bug - Although EA doesn't give you access to the accessor methods, it should still show them.   Formally report it... to the Sparx support email address: [email protected].

You might find my recent research on Properties (particularly Microsoft languages) and documented in :  [size=13]Property Redux[/size] interesting.

HTH,

Hello Aj,

What's happening is that for C# (and VB.Net) the two are methods are encapsulated into one property, with get and set parts.  EA is allowing you to set the scope of the property and you can check or uncheck the Read and Write components of the property as you desire.

Hope that helps.

Simon,
I understand this.  I think Ajaxx does also.  Our point is; in the case of C# according to your explanation, you shouldn't provide the getter syntax in the read only text box.  If you show the getter, you should also show the setter.
