Property cannot be declared '<propertymodifier>' because it contains a 'Private' accessor

A property with a Private property procedure (Get or Set) is marked Overridable.

If a base class property or procedure is declared Private, a derived class cannot override that property or procedure because it cannot access it. Because of this, you cannot use Private in combination with Overridable. This applies not only to the property itself but to the individual property procedures as well.

Error ID: BC31108

To correct this error

• Remove the Overridable keyword from the Property Statement, or remove the Private keyword from the Get Statement or the Set Statement.
