C# automatic properties - is it possible to have custom getter with default setter?

Question

It\'s possible I shouldn\'t even be attempting this in the first place, but here\'s what I have so far:

public List AuthorIDs
{
    get
    {
             


        

Answer 1

There is actually a way of doing that:

public List AuthorIDs
{
    get
    {
        var l = new List();
        using (var context = new GarbageEntities())
        {
            foreach (var author in context.Authors.Where(a => a.Books.Any(b => b.BookID == this.BookID)).ToList())
            {
                l.Add(author.AuthorID);
            }
        }
        return l;
    }
    set{
       this.SetPropertyValue(page => page.AuthorIDs, value);
    }
}
