Here's a side-by-side example so the difference is clear.
//The long version (all .net versions)
public class LongPerson{
private string name;
public string Name{
set{
this.name = value;
}
get{
return this.name;
}
}
}
//Autoproperty -- C# > 3.0
public class ShortPerson{
public string Name { get; set; }
}
public class test{
public static void Main(string[] args){
//The long version: create an instance, set a property ...
LongPerson longPerson = new LongPerson();
longPerson.Name = "Bob";
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Hi {0}", longPerson.Name));
//C# 3.0 -- Create an instance with an object initializer
ShortPerson shortPerson = new ShortPerson(){ Name = "Bob"};
Console.WriteLine(String.Format("Hi {0}", shortPerson.Name));
}
}
