RE: Subprocedure invocation

That's something I don't like about the .NET stuff; at least in VB.NET

you

"magically" invoke the setter and getter for a field just by accessing

or

updating the field itself. You can't tell just by looking at the code
whether there really is a getter or setter.

There's _always_ a getter and/or setter if you're accessing a property.
But I'll grant, you can't tell if you're going after a property or a
member variable. Of course, in good OO design, why would you go after a
member variable?

I think it's a style thing so. I can't stand the explicit get/set calls
in Java. :)

PS. The getter/setter is actually a method call in the CIL. The method
is called get_PropertyName or set_PropertyName, so they really are
calls. :)
