What is the purpose of the “get” and “set” properties in C#

Question

I saw some get set method to set values. Can anyone tell me the purpose of this?

public string HTTP_USER_NAME
{
      get 
      {
            return UserNam         


        

Answer 1

Properties are just accessors over fields. They allow to do certain operations (if needed), and provide controlled access to fields.
