Should a property have the same name as its type?

Question

I\'ve sometimes seen code written like this :

public class B1
{
}

public class B2
{
    private B1 b1;

    public B1 B1
    {
        get { return b1; }
           


        

Answer 1

There's no specific technical problem with it. It might harm or improve readability. In fact, some Microsoft libraries have these kind of properties (specifically, with enum properties, this usually makes sense).
