Previously to add a property to a class would involve creating a private variable to store the value as well as the get and set property accessors to expose it.
private string headingFontName;
public string headingFontName
{
get{return headingFontName;}
set{headingFontName = value;}
}
Auto-implemented properties allow you to replace the above with:
public string headingFontName { get; set; }
And if you want a read or write only property make one of the accessors pivate. So a read only property would be:
public string headingFontName { get; private set; }
You can access the value from within the class by using the property.
headingFontName = “Arial”;
