C# Analysis of Read-only Write-only Property Instances of Classes

The purpose of attributes in C# is to encapsulate fields and are for the sake of security of program data. This article analyzes the read-only and write-only attributes in C# in an example form.

For read-only or write-only attribute definitions:

1. You can only read or write without writing one of the get\set methods.

for example:

private int a;
public int A{
get
{
  return a;
  }
}

2. Use private to protect, outside the class also means read-only or write-only

for example:

private int a;
public int A{
private get
{
  return a;
}
set
{
  a = value;
}
}

It should be noted here that the properties defined in this way are in C# 3.0 and later. When no other logic is needed in the accessor of the properties, the automatically implemented properties can make the property declaration more concise.

The compiler will create a private anonymous support field that can only be accessed through the property's get and set accessors.

public int A{get;set;}

Remember! This way, one of them (get/set) cannot be omitted for read-only or write-only.

But use private protection:

public int A{get;private set;}
