        }


Instead of Protected i put Property.The error i got is i have to use method instead of property how should i write that.Please explain.

From Instant VB (www.instantvb.com):

Private Function OneItem(ByVal whatever As String) As String
            Return("<item><tag> $.value=""" & whatever & """ </tag> " & whatever & " </item>" & Constants.vbCrLf)
End Function

Protected Function CreateGrammar() As String
            ' As if records in a recordset
            Dim grm As String = Constants.vbCrLf
            grm &= OneItem("Albania")
            grm &= OneItem("Algeria")
            grm &= OneItem("Argentina")
            grm &= OneItem("Australia")
            ' . . .
            grm &= OneItem("Zimbabwe")
            grm &= OneItem("India")
            grm &= OneItem("anand")
            Return grm
End Function
