difference between property and method

Question

please tell me the difference between property and method in C#.

Vulpes · Answer

A property is really a combination of methods. For example this code: private int myInt; public int MyProp { get { return myInt; } set { myInt = value;} } is equivalent to (and is turned by the C# compiler into) this: private int myInt; public int get_MyProp() { return myInt; } public void set_MyProp(int value) { myInt = value; } So as you can see a property is 'syntactic sugar' for a pair of get/set accessor methods. It doesn't necessarily have to be read/write but can be read-only (get but no set) or - more rarely - write only (set but no get).
