I created a class and for one of its property I want to assign a value calculated with a function like this ...
the problem is that property is always 0

Public Property nrZileLucratoare() As Decimal
    Get
        Return m_nrZileLucratoare
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As Decimal)
        m_nrZileLucratoare = calcZileLucratoare()
    End Set
End Property

Public Function calcZileLucratoare()
    calcZileLucratoare = 20
    Return calcZileLucratoare
End Function

Why are you calling the method from the set clause? When you say

propertyx = 1

in your code, propertyx should be = 1, not a calculated value.

You should actually do this:

nrZileLucratoare = calcZileLucratoare()

where the set clause looks like this:

Set(ByVal value As Decimal)
    m_nrZileLucratoare = value
End Set

Strange way of setting a property?

The reason why it is returning you '0' is because you havent told it to set the value.

if you set it, it will be 20.

VB

nrZileLucratoare = 0
        MsgBox(nrZileLucratoare.ToString())

I dont understand why you are using the property this way though :(

Solution 1

That's pointless since setting the property has no effect.
I'd recommend something like;

VB

Public Property nrZileLucratoare() As Decimal
    Get
        Return calcZileLucratoare()
    End Get
End Property

Public Function calcZileLucratoare()
    calcZileLucratoare = 20
    Return calcZileLucratoare
End Function

Hope this helps,
