Member Names Reserved for Properties

For a property P (17.6) of type T, the following signatures are reserved: T get_P(); void set_P(T value);
Both signatures are reserved, even if the property is read-only or write-only.
[Example: In the example using System; class A { public int P { get { return 123; } } } class B: A { new public int get_P() { return 456; } new public void set_P(int value) { } } class Test { static void Main() { B b = new B(); A a = b; Console.WriteLine(a.P); Console.WriteLine(b.P); Console.WriteLine(b.get_P()); } } a class A defines a read-only property P, thus reserving signatures for get_P and set_P methods. A class B derives from A and hides both of these reserved signatures. The example produces the output: 123 123 456 end example]
