Automatic Properties And Object Initializers

Automatic Property

In .net 2.0 if we want to define any property say Age then we can do it like

private int _age;
public int Age {
	get {
		return _age;
	}
	set {
		_age = value;
	}
}

In .net 3.0 we can define automatic property, So the Age property can be rewritten as

public int Age {
	get;
	set;
}

If we initialize the class and want to set the value of properties then we have done in that way

Person person = new Person();
person.Age = 32;
person.Name = " Test";
Response.Write(person.Age);
Response.Write(person.Name);

But from .net 3.0/3.5 we can do that in a more concise way

Person person  = new Person {Name="Test",Age=32} ; 
Response.Write ( person.Age ) ; 	
Response.Write ( person.Name ) ;
