Introduction
Property In C#
A property is an entity that describes the features of an object. A property is
a piece of data contained within a class that has an exposed interface for
reading/writing.
Main purpose
Properties are used to access our private class members and used them like a
variables.
Properties are special kind of method or block which have two successors and
this property cant take any arguments.
Properties are look like a variables.
Properties are used to security access our private class members.
Properties increase usability with maintaining security.
The two successor of Properties are "get" and "set"
get -- used to return the value.
set -- used to assign the value.
Syntax of Property
public
returnType PropertyName
{
set { privateVariable = value;}
get { return
privateVariable; }
}
Types of Properties
1) Read-Only (only get)
2) Write-Only(only set)
3) Normal (get & set both)
Program Read-Only
using
System;
namespace
property
{
class
ReadOnlyProp
{
string name="DEEPAK
DWIJ "; // private variable-bcoz ByDefault
member variable of class is Private.
public
string ROnly // Read only property only
returns the private variable.
{
get {
return name; }
}
}
class Program:ReadOnlyProp
{
public static
void Main()
{
Program rdonly =
new Program();
Console.WriteLine(rdonly.ROnly);
Console.Read();
}
}
}
Output
Program WriteOnly
using
System;
namespace
WriteOnly
{
class UseSet
{
private string
name = string.Empty;
public string
Wonly // ONLY SET PROPETY
{
set { name =
value; }
}
public void
DisplayData()
{
Console.WriteLine("Name:
{0}",name);
}
}
class Program
: UseSet
{
public static
void Main(string[]
args)
{
Program wrt =
new Program();
wrt.Wonly = "DEEPAK SHARMA";
wrt.DisplayData();
Console.Read();
}
}
}
Output
Program Normal(set and
get both)
using
System;
namespace Deep
{
abstract class
Car
{
string regno;
int modelno;
public int
Model // This is property 1st
{
set { modelno =
value; }
get { return
modelno; }
}
public string
Resgistration // This is property 2nd
{
set { regno =
value; }
get { return
regno; }
}
public void
brakes() // function
{
Console.WriteLine("Brakes
are important to drive safely");
}
}
class Maruti:Car
{
public static
void Main()
{
Maruti mr =
new Maruti();
Console.WriteLine("
Maruti CAR DESCRIPTION");
Console.WriteLine("*******************************************");
mr.Model = 2005;
mr.Resgistration = "UP-14 Z 6224-DEEPAK";
Console.WriteLine("CarModel
: " + mr.Model + "");
Console.WriteLine("CarRegistration
: " + mr.Resgistration + "");
mr.brakes();
Console.WriteLine("*******************************************");
Console.Read();
}
}
}
