Question

I need info about how “auto implemented” pertains to c# is and how and where I can use it?

Answer 1

The nearest thing I can think of to what you’re saying is Auto-Implemented Properties.

Pre C# 3.0, if you wanted to write a public property, you would need to do the following:

private string _name;

public string Name
{
    get { return _name; }
    set { _name = value; }
}

It has no logic and is a lot of boilerplate code really.

Now in C# 3.0, you can go:

public string Name { get; set; }

The framework takes care of all the boilerplate stuff for you. You can mix and match different visibility levels of the getters / setters too, as long as you still obey the same rules as traditional properties.
