I have a question regarding "Public Property" to access a private variable. If I am following the book right and I usually do I have this syntax correct. I mean literally copied right out of Tony Gaddis's bible here but MSVS is throwing me an an error. This is the code I have, its literally just the beginning declarations for a small bank account assignment.

Code:
Public Class AccountClass
    Private intBalance As Integer
    Private intRate As Integer
    Private intIntrest As Integer
    Private intTransactions As Integer


    Public Property intBalance() As Integer
        Get
            Return intBalance
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Integer)

        End Set
    End Property
The error I get says "intBalance is already declared as private "intBlance" as integer in this class.

I have no other idea how to get this to fly since I'm doing the same thing that is in the book. Anyone throw me a hand?
