Automatic Properties And Object Initializers In C#

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 ) ;
