title: Does VB.NET support automatic getters and setters on properties?
body: <p>In C# I can do this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public string myProperty { get; private set; }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is referred to as an "automatic getter/setter" (from what I've heard). Does VB.NET support these? So far, with my properties, all I can do is this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Public Property myProperty As String
      Get
          Return String.Empty
      End Get
      Private Set(ByVal value As String)
          somethingElse = value
      End Set
  End Property
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which is extremely clunky.</p>
  
  <p>So... is there a better way?</p>
