Use getter setter shorthand declarations

public string MyString { get;set; };

which creates a private variable with the default public accessors (getters/setters), which is basically equivalent to...

private string _myString;

public string MyString
{
    get { return _myString; }
    set { _myString = value; }
}

Use the above for code simplicity. I think, it has been there from the C# v3.5 version. Correct me if i am wrong.

Thanks and Regards

Akii ,

You are right , I would like to extend this post.

If you are using MVVM pattern , then you should follow the
private string _myString;

public string MyString

{

get { return _myString; }

set { _myString = value; }

}

shortcut won't wokr here.

Hope diz helps!!!!

Is { get;set; }; not needed in MVVM framework ?

can you explain a bit clearly ?
