You should use properties for this, e.g.,

public string Address
{
get
{
return this.address;
}
set
{
this.address = value;
}
}

Or, just for get.

public string Address
{
get
{
return this.address;
}
}

Hello Legolas, Actually set & get both are keyword of C#. You can use it when you define any property for class like...

class TimePeriod
{
    private double seconds;

    public double Hours
    {
        get { return seconds / 3600; }
        set { seconds = value * 3600; }
    }
}

You can get more help from here.

If you want to use get & set you have to use a Property. (Unless you are programming in Java which don't have get & set) It seems like you have two options. 1. To have TWO methods FOR EACH property, of get and set, eg. string getName() { return this.name; } void setName(string NewName) { this.name = NewName; } (Just like in Java) 2. You can use it as a Property (the easyer and more comfort one), eg.:

string Name
{
  get { return this.name; }
  set { this.name = value; }
}

and to use it in code:
string thisname = obj1.Name;
obj1.Name = "My New Name";

(You don't use the "()" in a Property) You can learn a little bit more if you read a little about this chapter. Hope I helped. NaNg.

using System; class Circle { public int X { get { return(x); } set { x = value; // draw the object here. } } int x; } class Test { public static void Main() { Circle c = new Circle(); c.X = 35; } } In this code, the get or set accessor is called when the property X is referenced.
