Auto-Property enhancements in C#

Auto-implemented properties make property-declaration more concise when no additional logic is required in the property.
When you declare a property the compiler creates a private, anonymous backing field that can only be accessed through the property’s get and set accessors.
The syntax for automatically implemented properties

//Auto-Property enhancements public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; }

C# 6.0 improves the auto-properties capabilities.

Auto-Property Initializers

Firstly, you can initialize auto-implemented properties similarly to fields. It allows you to declare the initial value for an auto-property as part of the property declaration.

Read-only auto-properties

Read-only auto-properties provide a more concise syntax to create immutable types.

// Read Only Auto Property public string ReadOnlyFirstName { get; private set; } public string ReadOnlyLastName { get; private set; }

Read-only auto-properties enable true read-only behavior. You declare the auto-property with only a get accessor:

// True Read-only behavior public string TrueReadOnlyFirstName { get; } public string TrueReadOnlyLastName { get; }
