Question

This seems to be basics of the language, but I do not understand how is this accomplished in .Net. I have a member variable in a class, say a bool _isCommitted. I want something to happen whenever _isCommitted is true. Something like this:

     //Whenever _isCommitted == true()
     {
         Foo()
     }

Basically like an event, but here it is my variable. How to? Many thanks..

This is normally done through properties and a backing private field. You need to ensure you only ever access through the property.

private bool _isCommitted;

public bool IsCommitted
{
  get { return _isCommitted; }
  set
  {
     if(value)
     {
        //do something
     }

     _isCommitted = value;
  }
}
