[SOLVED] How do I pass parameters to a method both as normal and like a property?

How do I pass parameters to a method both as normal and like a property?

In RealBasic (now Xojo), which I'm leaving to the past, I used to be able to declare a method like this:

Sub MyCoolSub(param1 as string, Assigns parameter2 as integer)
Do
'Waste CPU time scrying the universe.
Loop
End Sub

And then call it in this way:

MyCoolSub("Answer")=42

Now I'd want to replicate this behaviour in VB.Net.

The closest thing I stumbled upon is the Property's clauses, ~~but VS does not let me add parameters to it~~ that would however require some overhead which decreases the convenience of this type of declaration.

Do you have any better suggestion?

PS. As a side question I would be pretty happy to know that there is a way to comment with "//" in VB.Net, as I'm not that comfortable with the apostrophe character. Is there any thing as a VS comment characters list? Maybe an extension could do it...

Solution

When I look at the documentation for the Xojo Assigns keyword the closest thing I can think of is to create a write-only property like this:

Public WriteOnly Property theVolume(a As Integer, b As Integer) As Integer
    Set(c As Integer)
        Debug.WriteLine("a={0}, b={1}, c={2}", a, b, c)
    End Set
End Property

theVolume(1, 2) = 3

a=1, b=2, c=3
