Question

I have the following code in my class:

    private int order;
    public int Order {
        get { return order; }
        set { order = value; }
        }
    }

I tested it out by trying the following and it works okay. Can someone tell me is this a legal thing for me to do? In the past I have always used the following:

    public int Order { get; set; }

Is there any difference between this and doing it manually other than the manual way requires more typing?

Answer 1

Very little difference and in my opinion, not required unless you need to do some manipulation of the private member on the get or set.
