getter and setter c# code example

Example 1: c# getter setter

//private Variable
int _x;
public int x {
 get { return _x; } //getter -> returns value of private variable _x
 set { _x = value; } // setter -> sets value of _x to passed argument (value)
}

//Work with x as it would be a normal public field
x = 20;
Console.WriteLine(x);

// Shorter form of getter and setter
public string y = {get; set;} // creates private variable w/ getter and setter in background
//Alternatively you can also make a setter private accessible only
public double z = {get; private set;}

Example 2: getter setter c#

class Student
{
  public int Age { get; set; }
}

Example 3: get setter c# model

Person person = new Person();
person.Name = "Joe";  // the set accessor is invoked here

System.Console.Write(person.Name);  // the get accessor is invoked here
