What is the purpose of Get and Set

Hi Rajendra,

Get is called Accessor and Set is called Mutators in .Net

in Oops to preserve DataAbstraction concept we keeps Data member private in class.
now to access that data members from outside world we need some mechanism through which we can use it.
for this we define property which contains Accessor and Mutator.
with this we can give tremendous data abstraction i.e.

class Example

{

      //can read and assign from outside

      Public Member1{get;set;}

     //Read only member

      Public Member2{get;}

      //Read only for outside

      Public Member{get;private set;}

}

From any where else:

Example e = new Example()

//Assign Value

e.Member1 = "Himanshu"

//Read value from Member2

object value = e.Member2;

For eg:
public string CaptionText
{
set
{
this.Text = value;
}

}
public Color GridAlternatingColor
{
set
{
Grid.AlternatingBackColor = value;
}
}
