C# return a variable as read only from get; set;

Question

I swear I have seen an example of this but have been googling for a bit and can not find it.

I have a class that has a reference to an object and need to have a GET; met

Answer 1

i agree with ReadOnlyCollection

See my simple code:

 private List _devices;
public readonly System.Collections.ObjectModel.ReadOnlyCollection Devices 
{
 get
 { 
return (_devices.AsReadOnly());
 } 

}

ReadOnlyCollection dosen't has Add method so user cant add properties to it.BUT ther is no warranty that if user can modify objects by calling their methods....
