Question

When creating a DateTime object, there are only 4 properties available in the Object Initialization list, however this class has atleast 10 public properties. I was curious why wouldn’t all the public properties be available in the Object Initilization as this has always been the case in the past. (Note once the object is created I could then use datetime. and see all the properties.)

DateTime datetime = new DateTime() { 
   Date = null,
   DayOfWeek = null,
   TimeOfDay = null,
   Kind = null
}

Answer 1

It will show only those properties which are Public properties and have a Setter

You code won’t compile because these properties don’t have a Setter they are Read Only
