What is a property? What is an event?

Property - A property is a thing that describes the features of an object. A property is a piece of data contained within a class that has an exposed interface for reading/writing. Looking at this definition, we might think we could declare a public variable in a class and call it a property. While this assumption is somewhat valid, the real technical term for a public variable in a class is a field. The main difference between a field and a property is in the inclusion of an interface.

We make use of Get and Set keywords while working with properties. We prefix the variables used within this code block with an underscore. Value is a keyword, that holds the value which is being retrieved or set.ss="a">

Private _Color As String
   Public Property Color()
    Get
      Return _Color
    End Get
    Set(ByVal Value)
      _Color = Value
    End Set
End Property

Event - An action that an object does. When something happens, we say an event has happened. For example, when a button is clicked, we say it is the click( ) event. When a mouse hovers on an image, we say the mouseover( ) event has taken place.
