It is always a better objective to plan classes that not only conceal the implementation of the class’s function, but that also prohibit any straight member right to use to the class’s fields. By giving accessor methods whose work it is to get back and assign the values of these fields, you can be certain that a field is treated properly, so you can use this setter and getter properties and use it effectively. .

Using accessor function function well and is a method utilized by developers of several object-oriented languages, that also involves C++ and Java. However, C# gives an even richer means—properties—that has the similar abilities as accessor function and is much more stylish on the client end. Through properties, a developer can write a client that can control a class’s fields considering those fields as public fields .

A C# property comprise of a field declaration and accessor function mainly utilized to change the field’s value. These accessor functions are called getter and setter functions. The former is used to retrieve the value and the latter is used to modify the content. Here is the example

class Location 
    {
        protected string area;
        protected string postalzip;

        public string ZipCode
        {
            get
            {
                return postalzip;
            }
            set
            {
                                postalzip = value;
                // the area is updated.
            }
        }
    }
