A property is a combination between a field and a method. They are a fancy C# feature made to get rid of Getters and Setters.

As a general practice, properties are used for public fields, whether there is any get/set logic or not.

Defining a property

There's multiple ways to define a property.

The fully qualified way

class ExampleClass
{
	private int x;
	public int X 
	{
		get
		{
			return this.x;
		}
		set
		{
			this.x = value;
		}
	}
}

The lamda way

class ExampleClass
{
	private int x;
	public int X 
	{
		get => this.x;
		set => this.x = value;
	}
}

The auto lamda way

class ExampleClass
{
	public int X 
	{
		get => field;
		set => field = value;
	}
}

Notice the explicit field has been replaced with the field keyword

The auto-property way

class ExampleClass
{
	public int X { get; set; }
}

Using a property

Since it is just a fancy field, you use it the same way you would use a field

class Program
{
	public void main()
	{
		ExampleClass ex = new ExampleClass();
		ex.X = 5;
	}
}
