Does C++11 have C#-style properties?

Question

In C#, there is a nice syntax sugar for fields with getter and setter. Moreover, I like the auto-implemented properties which allow me to write

public Foo fo

With C++11 you can define a Property class template and use it like this:

class Test{
public:
  Property Number{this,&Test::setNumber,&Test::getNumber};

private:
  int itsNumber;

  void setNumber(int theNumber)
    { itsNumber = theNumber; }

  int getNumber() const
    { return itsNumber; }
};

And here ist the Property class template.

template
class Property{
public:
  using SetterType = void (C::*)(T);
  using GetterType = T (C::*)() const;

  Property(C* theObject, SetterType theSetter, GetterType theGetter)
   :itsObject(theObject),
    itsSetter(theSetter),
    itsGetter(theGetter)
    { }

  operator T() const
    { return (itsObject->*itsGetter)(); }

  C& operator = (T theValue) {
    (itsObject->*itsSetter)(theValue);
    return *itsObject;
  }

private:
  C* const itsObject;
  SetterType const itsSetter;
  GetterType const itsGetter;
};
