Is read-only auto-implemented property possible?

Question

I found a topic on MSDN that talks that yes, this is possible.

I did a test that seems to break this statement:

using System;

namespace Test
{
    c

It's confusing. You should differentiate read-only to the c# readonly (what the keyword means).

• read-only: they mean that no one outside can write to it directly, only read.
• C# readonly: you can only write to it in the constructor, then never more.
