C# Properties & Method!

[Adam Knight]

Hi all,

Can I have a class that contains a IsDirector Method & IsDirector property.
The method populates the property.

I have tried the code below..but get a 'definition for IsDirector' already
exists.

Cheers,
Adam

using System;
using System.Web;
public class Security
{
//private variable declarations
private Boolean _IsDirector;
private System.Web.SessionState.HttpSessionState Session;

public Security()
{
//initialise class properties
_IsDirector = IsDirector();
}

public Boolean IsDirector()
{
//determine if a user session is exists
if(null != System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session)
{
//retrieve session object from page
Session = System.Web.HttpContext.Current.Session;

//determine if logged in user belongs to the directors user group
if ((int)Session("GroupID") = 1)
{
//return boolean indicating user is a director
return true;
}
}

//return boolean indicate user is not a director
return false;
}

public Boolean IsDirector
{
get
{
return _IsDirector;
}
}

}

You cannot have both a property and a method, you'll get naming conflicts.

Adam,

Consider putting the code from the IsDirector method inside the get{..}
clause of the IsDirector property. If you don't want to run this code on
every use of the IsDirector property, introduce another boolean variable
that will tell you if you have already run the code once.

Try changing the name such as

isDirector for Property (1st letter lower case)
IsDirector for Method (1st letter upper case)

or

IsDirectorP for property
IsDirdctor for method

and so on.
