Question

Hi I have recently started to learn C# and have some questions regarding properties.
Let’s say I have this statement:

private int minAge { get; set; }

Does this translate into this:

private int minAge

public int MinAge
{
    get { return this.minAge; }
    set { this.minAge = Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.Text); } //this is what I would like                     to set the field to
}

Let’s say that I have a button and when I press that button I need it to set the minAge field and after that return the data.How can I achieve this?

I tried this but it does not seem to work:

   minAge.get //to return data
   minAge.set =  Convert.ToInt16(TextBox1.Text); //to set the data

What you just do is to public your property:

 public int minAge { get; set; }

Then you can use for get and set (implicitly):

 int age = minAge; //to return data
 minAge =  Convert.ToInt32(TextBox1.Text); //to set the data
