I've just quickly thrown together an example of using INotifyPropertyChanged for your situation. Notice that initially Temp and WaveLength both have their default values of 0. No exception is thrown if an attempt is made to set a property to an out of range value - the attempt is simply ignored: using System; using System.ComponentModel; public class MyClass : INotifyPropertyChanged { private double prevTemp; private double temp; private double prevWaveLength; private double waveLength; public double Temp { get { return temp; } set { if (temp == value) return; if (value >= 30 && value { prevTemp = temp; temp = value; NotifyPropertyChanged(Temp); } } } public double PrevTemp { get { return prevTemp; } } public double WaveLength { get { return waveLength; } set { if (waveLength == value) return; if (value >= 30 && value { prevWaveLength = waveLength; waveLength = value; NotifyPropertyChanged(WaveLength); } } } public double PrevWaveLength { get { return prevWaveLength; } } public event PropertyChangedEventHandler PropertyChanged; private void NotifyPropertyChanged(string name) { if (PropertyChanged != null) { PropertyChanged(this new PropertyChangedEventArgs(name)); } } } class Program { static void Main() { Program p = new Program(); MyClass mc = new MyClass(); mc.PropertyChanged += p.MyClass_PropertyChanged; mc.Temp = 40; mc.Temp = 70; // no effect mc.Temp = 50; mc.WaveLength = 35; mc.WaveLength = 25; // no effect mc.WaveLength = 45; Console.ReadKey(); } void MyClass_PropertyChanged(object sender PropertyChangedEventArgs pcea) { MyClass mc = (MyClass)sender; if (pcea.PropertyName == Temp) { Console.WriteLine(The Temp property has changed from {0} to {1} mc.PrevTemp mc.Temp); } else { Console.WriteLine(The WaveLength property has changed from {0} to {1} mc.PrevWaveLength mc.WaveLength); } } }

Do you mean that you want the event to be fired every time you 'get' or 'set' the property or only when you 'set' (and change) it? If it's the latter then you can implement the INotifyPropertyChanged interface which is useful for data binding.
