Question

I have the following:

public class Content {
   public string PartitionKey { get; set; }
   public string RowKey { get; set; }
   ...
}

public class ContentViewModel
    {
        public string RowKey { get; set; }
        public Content Content { get; set; }
        public Boolean UseRowKey { }

    }

Can someone tell me how I can code in for UseRowKey to be read only and for it to return true if the Content.RowKey first character is “X”.

Answer 1

How can I use get to return a boolean from a C# class?

You can not because classes have no return value, only methods have (and properties – the get method is a special case of method).

Now:

Can someone tell me how I can code in for UseRowKey to be read only and for it to return
true if the Content.RowKey first character is “X”

But that is NOT “returning boolean from a class”, you know.

public bool UseRowKey { get { return RowKey.StartsWith("X"); }}

(untested, you may have to debug)

Read only: do not provide a set.
First char X: programming.
