does a property keep its value even when a program is turned off

for instance if i make a class
account
with a property of account name
will it keep that value when i turn off the program

Only if it returns a constant. Otherwise, no.

To do so you would have to serialize the object and write it to disk (or
another medium for storage)

If property is set by the user, than you'd have to persist it somehow,
either serialize it or store it in a DB or the registry to be able to get it
Property values are stored in RAM so once the program closes, that space is
cleared out. So the only way you'd get the value again is if it was
persisted or it always returned the same thing.

Hi WStoreyII,

Properties cannot store the values as such. You can refer http://www.dotnetspider.com/Technology/KB/ShowSample.aspx?SampleId=221 for further details.

Hi WStoreyII

When you start your program again a complete "New" object (class) is
created.
You are not connecting to your old program.
