Question

I’m trying to do this:

public string LangofUser 
    { 
       get 
       { 
          return string.IsNullOrEmpty("how to get value?") ? "English" : "how to get value?"; 
       } 
       set; 
     }

do I have to do this?

string _LangofUser
public string LangofUser 
     { 
       get 
       { 
         return string.IsNullOrEmpty(_LangofUser) ? "English" : _LangofUser; 
       } 
       set { _LangofUser = value};
     }

This mixing of auto-implement and not-auto-implemented properties in C# is not possible. A property must be fully auto-implemented or a normal property.

Note: Even with a fully auto-implemented property there is no way to reference the backing field from C# source in a strongly typed manner. It is possible via reflection but that’s depending on implementation details of the compiler.
