Code Generation in VB.NET

[Margaret]

I have generated VB.NET code from a simple class diagram.  Unfortunately the code generator names the attribute names for the properties identical to the property names for the getters and setters.  This appears to be illegal syntax in VB.NET.  Is there a way to have the code generator make the attribute names and the property names different?  Thanks!!!

Check the Tools | Options | Source Code Engineering page.

About 2/3 of the way down you'll see a section titled "Remove prefixes..."

Use one of these prefixes when you create the 'internal' field name of your property. [Note that the list is semicolon delimited.]

You also need to check the Property box when you create the field (i.e. attribute) in your class. In the Property dialog you can designate whether this is a read-only property and set other options. You should now have a field (attribute) with a name in the form m_attributeName, and a property with a name in the form of AttributeName.

Thanks so much for your response.  I finally had a chance to try it out and your instructions were excellent.
