Hi Nimz,

That's an interesting question :)

PageName is defined like this:

[EditorBrowsable(EditorBrowsableState.Never)]
public virtual string PageName
{
  get
  {
	return this.Name;
  }
  set
  {
	this.Name = value;
  }
}

And Name is defined like this:

[StringLength(255)]
public virtual string Name
{
  get
  {
	return (string) this["PageName"] ?? string.Empty;
  }
  set
  {
	this["PageName"] = (object) value;
  }
}

So, if I'm not wrong:

- In edit mode, you're allowed to change the value of Name property.

- PageName delegates get/set actions to the Name property

- Under the hood, Name is actually is saved as PageName

That's a bit confusing, but no matter which property you use, you'll get the same result.

I was just wondering about this as well, and then found this post :)

So due to PageName not being discoverable with intellisense, Name would be prefered?
