Public Property Trigger As UADataChangeTrigger

'Usage
 
Dim instance As UADataChangeFilter
Dim value As UADataChangeTrigger
 
instance.Trigger = value
 
value = instance.Trigger

[DefaultValue(Mono.Cecil.CustomAttributeArgument)]
public UADataChangeTrigger Trigger {get; set;}

[DefaultValue(Mono.Cecil.CustomAttributeArgument)]
public:
property UADataChangeTrigger Trigger {
   UADataChangeTrigger get();
   void set (    UADataChangeTrigger value);
}
