Hm,  this snippet does not compile :
class Server {
	private string _name, _id;

	@property servername(string name) {
		_name = name;
	}
	@property string servername() {
		return _name;
	}
}

remove string from @property and it works.

On the other hand ..
	@property Server nextServer() {
		return servers[0];
	}
compiles fine !
Guess we need the official documents...

Maybe it's because you haven't added string to the setter? Just grasping
at straws here.

Hi Simen, yes, thats the prob. I just have not found the @property docs.. thanks for all the help..
This snippet works now as expected.. D properties are just fine.
