Hi Actually there is no C# 2005 and C# 2010. It is the visual studio version. It is C# 2.0 and C# 4.0 You know that property is used to set and get the value into the variable. It eliminates to write the separate method to set and get the value to the variable in the class. Thats where the property introduced. In C# 2.0 private string _FirstName; public string FirstName { get{ return _FirstName;} set{_FirstName = value;} } In C# 4.0 public string FirstName { get; set; } This C# compiler will place the variable to get and set the value at the run time. Additionally visual studio IDE has the property called prop (code snippt for automatically implemented property). It need to select and click on TAB TAB will generate the following code. public int MyProperty { get; set; }

Try this. Go to Visual Studio 2010's help menu and select View Help. That will open the MSDN Library to the Visual Studio 2010 page. In that page is a Technologies group. Click on Visual C# in there. Then in that page click on What's New in Visual C# 2010 . You can find similar pages for previous versions of Visual Studio. The pages include the improvements to the C# language that corresponds with the version of VS.
