Okay it works fine but when I write

public string Text { get; set; }

It doesn't show anything.. Why??

Answer 1

Oh okay, now I understand ...

* When we write ...

public string Text
{
get; set;
}

C# creates an auto property named `Text`, that reads and writes value from/to an auto member (created by C#), not the `text` member.

* When we write ...

public string Text
{
get { return text; }
set { text = value;}
}

C# reads and writes value from/to the private member `text`

I hope I get it right, cmiiw 👌

Answer 2

Ok I read description 🙃🙃😂

Answer 3

ShowPost() then should do Console.WriteLine(Text) instead of text for the argument.

Answer 4

Ipang CarrieForle CarrieForle Why I need to write Text instead of text??

Why I don't need to write Text, when I manually mention that get accessor return text and set accessor, set value of text??

.... .... .... {get; set;} also automatically mention these things with the help of Compiler.. don't they??

Then why we need to write Text instead of text??

Answer 7

Ipang I did mean.. when we wrote
public string x {
get { ....}
set { ....}
}
we printed text

Then why we need to print Text instead of text
when we wrote
public string Text {get; set;}

Answer 8

Ipang Then that means if we write
.... ... Text { get; set; }
There is a new variable named 'Text', isn't it?
if yes then why the compiler don't ask for two inputs??
One for text and another for Text??

Answer 9

Ipang Thanks.. Sir.. That means Text is a variable now, isn't it?

For more correct explanation about this auto implemented properties, please refer to

Answer 11

Giovanni EZINWA yeah brother.. please share your problem

Answer 12

You can also do this inside ShowPost()

Console.WriteLine( this.text );

Answer 13

You can access the `text` member directly by specifying `this` for context.

When we use `Text` as argument for `Console.WriteLine()`, we are accessing the `Text` property getter rather than accessing the `text` member directly.

Answer 14

Why should compiler ask for two inputs? at line 10 it reads one `string` input, at line 13 the input is fed in for `Text` property setter.

The private member `text` is never assigned any value when the auto property is used.

public string Text
{
get;
set;
}
