A read-only property only has a 'get' and a write-only property only has a 'set'. Whilst the former are quite common the latter are rare. Here's a simple example which uses both: using System; class MyClass { int ro; int wo; public int ReadOnlyProp { get { return ro; } } public int WriteOnlyProp { set { wo = value; } } public MyClass (int ro) { this.ro = ro; } public int Add() { return ro + wo; } } class Test { static void Main() { MyClass mc = new MyClass(3); mc.WriteOnlyProp = 5; Console.WriteLine(mc.ReadOnlyProp); // 3 Console.WriteLine(mc.Add()); // 8 Console.ReadKey(); } }
