auto-implemented properties


Auto-implemented properties make property-declaration more concise when no additional logic is required in the property accessors. They also enable client code to create objects. When you declare a property as shown in the following example, the compiler creates a private, anonymous backing field that can only be accessed through the property's get and set accessors.


// Auto-Impl Properties for trivial get and set
public double TotalPurchases { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public int CustomerID { get; set; }
