[RESOLVED] Property vs Function in Class Module

In a User-Defined Class:
For "derived" properties, rather than base properties, is there any difference between coding these as properties or coding them as functions.

e.g. is there any advantage to using the "Area" property versus the "Area2" function in the following? Or visa versa?

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private pLGH As Long
Private pHGT As Long
 
'base properties - lets and gets
Public Property Let Length(newLength As Long)
    pLGH = newLength
End Property
 
Public Property Let Height(newHeight As Long)
    pHGT = newHeight
End Property
 
Public Property Get Length() As Long
    Length = pLGH
End Property
 
Public Property Get Height() As Long
    Height = pHGT
End Property
 
 
'derived property - using property
Public Property Get Area() As Long
    Area = pLGH * pHGT
End Property
 
'derived property - using function
Public Function Area2() As Long
    Area2 = pLGH * pHGT
End Function

there is nothing wrong with either -

If it's going to be a read-only return value that either is fine.

If you need to be able to save a value back, Properties would be the better.
