How MATLAB Represents .NET Properties

To view property names, use the properties function.

To get and set the value of a class property, use the MATLAB^® dot notation:

x = ClassName.PropertyName;
ClassName.PropertyName = y;

The following example gets the value of a property (the current day of the month):

dtnow = System.DateTime.Now;
d = dtnow.Day;

The following example sets the value of a property (the Volume for a SpeechSynthesizer object):

dotnetenv("framework")
NET.addAssembly('System.Speech');
ss = System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer;
ss.Volume = 50;
Speak(ss,'You can use .NET Libraries in MATLAB')

To set a static property, call the NET.setStaticProperty function. For an example, see Set Static .NET Properties.

MATLAB represents public .NET fields as properties.

MATLAB represents .NET properties that take an argument as methods. For more information, see Call .NET Properties That Take an Argument.
