How to call vb function if the class has a property with the same name of the vb function

[Brenda]

Hi,

I have build a custom GridColumn inherited from DataGridTextBoxColumn and it
have a format property. In Paint event, I have to call format function to
get formatted string but the IDE always refer format to its own property
instead of function. How can I call format function instead of property?

Thank you very much!
