Override get, but not set

New in C# 6.0:

If you are only calling the setter within your constructor, you can resolve this problem using read-only properties.

void Main()
{
    BaseClass demo = new DClass(3.6);
}

public abstract class BaseClass
{
    public abstract double MyPop{ get; }
}

public class DClass : BaseClass
{
    public override double MyPop { get; }
    public DClass(double myPop) { MyPop = myPop;}
}

One possible answer would be to override the getter, and then to implement a separate setter method. If you don't want the property setter to be defined in the base, you don't have many other options.

public override double MyPop
{
    get { return _myPop; }
}

public void SetMyPop(double value)
{
    _myPop = value;
}
