Excluding private members from custom event args

[SBendBuckeye]

Hello all,

I created a custom EventArgs class by inheriting from System.EventArgs. I have several ReadOnly properties so I set them from the constructor like so:

Imports System.ComponentModel

Public Class MyCustomEventArgs
    Inherits System.EventArgs

    Public Sub New(ByVal myArg1 As String)
        m_MyArg1 = myArg1
    End Sub 'New

    <EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)> _
    Private m_MyArg1 As String = Nothing
    Public ReadOnly Property MyArg1 As String
        Get
            Return m_MyArg1 
        End Get
    End Property 'MyArg1
End Class

The problem is that in my delegate, if I click e while debugging at run time, m_MyArg1 shows up in the list. Thanks in advance for any ideas and/or suggestions.

Then why did you make it public readonly?

Did you try protected? or friend or protected friend?

Does it only show up on debugging or also on editing/coding/intellisense.

Hey chrissie1,

At design time, the private properties do not show up in intellisense while I am coding. But at RunTime, if I set a break point in side my event code, then the private members m_MyArg1, etc are displayed in the list along with the property MyArg1 which is all that I want to be displayed.

I think you may have misread my post. I want the public property MyArg1 to display in intellisense, but not the private member m_MyArg1 which is used inside the custom EventArgs class which is inherited from System.EventArgs.

Thanks for taking time to respond!

I also tried Protected and Friend and they still show up in the list at RunTime.

Oops, Yes that is odd. I will have to look into that.

Hey chrissie1,

Sorry, I misspoke above. They do not show up in Intellisense, but they do show up in the Locals window, which would be expected I believe.
