virtual properties

Question

I have used and learned only virtual methods of the base class without any knowledge of virtual properties used as

class A
{
   public virtual ICollection<         


        

Answer 1

Properties are actually specials cases of Getter and Setter methods. So they are like combinations of Getter and Setter methods as shown below:

private string _name;

public string GetName()
{
   return _name;
}

public void SetName(string value)
{
   this._name = value;
}

So virtual keyword is same for properties as well which means it is overrideable by the child classes and initial implementation can be changed.
