When to use get; set; in c#

Question

I\'m failing to understand what the difference is between initializing a variable, getting its value like this:

 //define a local variable.
   int i;

   i=          


        

Answer 1

It is one concept of OOPs.

There are two main advantages using the Get\Set Property :

1. Without affecting base class value, we can change the variable value in derived class using the get and set method.

Eg :

class User
{

    private string name = "Suresh Dasari";
    public string Name
    {
     get
        {
            return name.ToUpper();

        }

        set
        {
       if (value == "Suresh")
             name = value;
       }
        }
    }

2. Also, we can able to validate\Restriction\Raise the Events, in values set property section.
