> Michael,
> Because of the how Implements work in VB.NET I would suggest something like:

> Public Interface IReadOnly
>     ReadOnly Property Value() As String
> End Interface

> Public Interface IReadWrite
>     Property Value() As String
> End Interface

> Public Class MyObject
>     Implements IReadOnly
>     Implements IReadWrite

>     Private ReadOnly Property Value2() As String Implements IReadOnly.Value
>         Get
>             return Value
>         End Get
>     End Property

>     Public Property Value() As String Implements IReadWrite.Value
>         Get
>             m_value
>         End Get
>         Set(ByVal Value As String)
>             m_value = value
>         End Set
>     End Property

> End Class
