Properties in C#

  • 772

I have a question regarding C# properties with this line:

public int Ataque { get; set; }

Does this also create a variable ataque? Or is it just to shorten the getand set. And it should be placed like this:

int ataque;
public int Ataque { get; set; }

Because I have been told that by style guide, the properties have to be in uppercase, and the variables in lowercase. And that bothers me a bit...

    Effectively,

    public int Ataque { get; set; }

    is a shorthand way of creating a property, which is internally handled as if a variable existed private int ataque.

    On the other hand, you can also create the property in the "classic" way with its associated private variable :

        private int ataque;

    public int Ataque
    {
        get { return ataque; }
        set { ataque = value; }
    }

    And as for convention, private variables would start with a lowercase , and properties with an uppercase .
