What is an automatic variable name for automatically implemented properties

Question

I am trying to do this:

public string LangofUser { get { return string.IsNullOrEmpty("how to get value?") ? "English" : "how to get value?"; } set; } 

Should I do this?

 string _LangofUser public string LangofUser { get { return string.IsNullOrEmpty(_LangofUser) ? "English" : _LangofUser; } set { _LangofUser = value}; } 

Answer 1

This mix of automatic and non-automated properties in C # is not possible. The property must be fully automatic or normal.

Note. Even with a fully automatic property, there is no way to refer to the support field from a C # source in a strongly typed way. This is possible through reflection, but it depends on the details of the compiler implementation.

Answer 2

As others have said, do not try to mix automatic and regular properties. Just write a regular property.

If you want to know what secret names we create behind the scenes for the hidden magic of the compiler, see

but do not rely on it; it can change at any time at our whim.

Answer 3

If you provide your own property implementation, it is not automatic. So yes, you need to create an instance.

Check this question What is the difference between encapsulating a private element as a property and defining a property without a private member?

Answer 5

If you want to keep the auto property and still have a default value, why don't you initialize it in your constructor?

 public class MyClass { public MyClass() { LangOfUser = "English"; } public string LangOfUser { get; set; } }
