Properties in C#

In C#, properties are the natural extension of data fields. They are also known as ‘smart field’.

Inside a class, we declare a data field as a private and provide a set of public set and get method to access the data fields, because the data field cannot be accessed directly outside the class so we use get and set methods.

Example:

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

namespace WindowsFormsApplication38

{

   public class Class1

    {

       

        private int i;

        public int prop

        {

            get

            {

                return i;

            }

       

            set

            {

                i = value;

            }

        }

    }

}

.cs code:

  private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Class1 obj = new Class1();

            int x = obj.prop;

            x = 10;

            MessageBox.Show(x.ToString());

        }
