C# Properties

C# Properites doesn’t have storage location. C# Properites are extension of fields and accessed like fields.

The Properties have accessors that are used to set, get or compute their values.

Usage of C# Properties

C# Properties can be read-only or write-only.
We can have logic while setting values in the C# Properties.
We make fields of the class private, so that fields can’t be accessed from outside the class directly. Now we are forced to use C# properties for setting or getting values.

C# Properties Example

 using System;    public class Employee     {         private string name;          public string Name         {             get             {                 return name;             }             set             {                 name = value;             }         }    }    class TestEmployee{        public static void Main(string[] args)         {             Employee e1 = new Employee();             e1.Name = “tutor aspire”;             Console.WriteLine(“Employee Name: ” + e1.Name);          }     } 

Output:

Employee Name: tutor aspire

C# Properties Example 2: having logic while setting value

 using System;    public class Employee     {         private string name;          public string Name         {             get             {                 return name;             }             set             {                 name = value+” tutoraspire”;                              }         }    }    class TestEmployee{        public static void Main(string[] args)         {             Employee e1 = new Employee();             e1.Name = “tutor”;             Console.WriteLine(“Employee Name: ” + e1.Name);         }     } 

Output:

Employee Name: tutor tutoraspire

C# Properties Example 3: read-only property

 using System;    public class Employee     {         private static int counter;          public Employee()         {             counter++;         }         public static int Counter         {             get             {                 return counter;             }          }    }    class TestEmployee{        public static void Main(string[] args)         {             Employee e1 = new Employee();             Employee e2 = new Employee();             Employee e3 = new Employee();             //e1.Counter = 10;//Compile Time Error: Can’t set value              Console.WriteLine(“No. of Employees: ” + Employee.Counter);         }     } 

Output:

No. of Employees: 3
