Question Property declaration problems

[Cort]

I am new to coding and VB. I imported a C# page into a converter and came out with this.

Two errors, one of which refers to this line: Public Shared ReadOnly Property DbProviderName() As String states that DBPRovider name is already declared as a string- which it is, of course. (Private Shared dbProviderName As String)

My question is does that mean I can get rid of that Property value?

I would note that the C# code does not come with this error; you can declare a static item first and then declare it again as a property.

Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Configuration
Public Class ECommerceConfig

    ''' <summary>
    ''' Repository for ECommerce configuration settings
    ''' </summary>
    Public Class ECommerceConfig

        ' Caches the connection string
        Private Shared dbConnectionString As String

        ' Caches the data provider name 
        Private Shared dbProviderName As String

        Shared Sub New()
            dbConnectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ECommerceConnection").ConnectionString
            dbProviderName = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("ECommerceConnection").ProviderName
        End Sub
        ' Returns the connection string for the BalloonShop database
        [B]Public Shared ReadOnly Property DbConnectionString() As String[/B]
            Get
                Return dbConnectionString
            End Get
        End Property

        ' Returns the data provider name
        [B]Public Shared ReadOnly Property DbProviderName() As String[/B]            Get
                Return dbProviderName
            End Get
        End Property

It means the property's name and the variable's name are the same, you could change it to:

Public Shared ReadOnly Property ConnectionString() As String
and
Public Shared ReadOnly Property ProviderName() As String

Then when you use the properties outside of the class it's just 'ConnectionString' and 'ProviderName'
