Question

I have an automatic property

public int GearCount { get; set; }

when i try to initialize it like this-

Tandem t = new Tandem(GearCount = 5);

It gives an error as below

The name ‘GearCount’ does not exist in the current context

Whats wrong here ?
Also if i do normal intantiation it works fine.
Tandem t = new Tandem();

We need the rest of your code

You show us an auto-property called HasToolkit but the problem you’re having has nothing to do with HasToolkit.

It doesn’t look like you have an auto-property on your Tandem class called GearCount.

With the question fixed, it looks like you might just have some syntax issues.

If your Tandem class looks like:

public class Tandem
{    
   public bool HasToolkit {get; set;}

   public int GearCount {get; set;}
}

Then your initialization code would be:

Tandem t = new Tandem() { GearCount = 5 };

Or:

Tandem t = new Tandem() { GearCount = 5, HasToolkit = true };
