From dcfb9189d151d09078ced615f6db3c7a9b899596 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claude Date: Thu, 16 Apr 2026 07:48:01 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/3] Fix #827: VB auto-property backing field access maps to MyClassProp for virtual properties When a VB.NET virtual auto-property (e.g. `Overridable Property Prop As Integer = 5`) is accessed via its backing field (`_Prop`) in the same class, this should map to the non-virtual `MyClassProp` backing property in C#, not the virtual `Prop` property. Also handles the edge case where `MyClass._Prop` is written explicitly: in that case, `NameExpressionNodeVisitor` already adds the `MyClass` prefix, so we return the bare property name to avoid double-prefixing. Additionally, extends `GetMyClassAccessedNames` to detect backing field accesses so that the `MyClassProp` property is generated when needed. https://claude.ai/code/session_01AkwUvu3XuCdj3D4axoX4UX --- CodeConverter/CSharp/CommonConversions.cs | 7 ++- .../CSharp/DeclarationNodeVisitor.cs | 15 +++++- .../CSharp/MemberTests/PropertyMemberTests.cs | 46 +++++++++++++++++++ 3 files changed, 66 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/CodeConverter/CSharp/CommonConversions.cs b/CodeConverter/CSharp/CommonConversions.cs index 8af2c712a..3f37f1985 100644 --- a/CodeConverter/CSharp/CommonConversions.cs +++ b/CodeConverter/CSharp/CommonConversions.cs @@ -293,7 +293,12 @@ public SyntaxToken ConvertIdentifier(SyntaxToken id, bool isAttribute = false, S // AND the first explicitly declared parameter is this symbol, we need to replace it with value. text = "value"; } else if (normalizedText.StartsWith("_", StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) && idSymbol is IFieldSymbol propertyFieldSymbol && propertyFieldSymbol.AssociatedSymbol?.IsKind(SymbolKind.Property) == true) { - text = propertyFieldSymbol.AssociatedSymbol.Name; + // For virtual auto-properties, VB backing field _Prop maps to the C# MyClassProp backing property (bypasses virtual dispatch). + // Exception: when accessed as MyClass._Prop, NameExpressionNodeVisitor adds the "MyClass" prefix itself, so we just return the property name. + var isAccessedViaMyClass = id.Parent?.Parent is VBSyntax.MemberAccessExpressionSyntax { Expression: VBSyntax.MyClassExpressionSyntax }; + text = !isAccessedViaMyClass && propertyFieldSymbol.IsImplicitlyDeclared && propertyFieldSymbol.AssociatedSymbol is IPropertySymbol { IsVirtual: true, IsAbstract: false } vProp + ?
