Overload List

Returns the public set accessor for this property.

Supported by the .NET Compact Framework.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public Function GetSetMethod() As MethodInfo

[C#] public MethodInfo GetSetMethod();

[C++] public: MethodInfo* GetSetMethod();

[JScript] public function GetSetMethod() : MethodInfo;

When overridden in a derived class, returns the set accessor for this property.

Supported by the .NET Compact Framework.

[Visual Basic] Overloads Public MustOverride Function GetSetMethod(Boolean) As MethodInfo

[C#] public abstract MethodInfo GetSetMethod(bool);

[C++] public: virtual MethodInfo* GetSetMethod(bool) = 0;

[JScript] public abstract function GetSetMethod(Boolean) : MethodInfo;
