== Why is this an issue?

In most cases, indexed properties should be named Item for consistency. Exceptions are when there exists a name which is obviously better, for example ``++System.String.Chars(System.Int32)++``.


=== Noncompliant code example

[source,vbnet]
----
Module Module1
    Dim array = {"apple", "banana", "orange", "strawberry"}

    ReadOnly Property Foo(ByVal index As Integer)  ' Noncompliant
        Get
            Return array(index)
        End Get
    End Property
End Module
----


=== Compliant solution

[source,vbnet]
----
Module Module1
    Dim array = {"apple", "banana", "orange", "strawberry"}

    ReadOnly Property Item(ByVal index As Integer)
        Get
            Return array(index)
        End Get
    End Property
End Module
