public private property

[Sunny]

Hi,
I want to have a property, for which I want only the get part to be public,
but set to be private? is it possible, or I have to make only get public,
and make a private method to set the value of the underlying variable? I
need to capture setting the variable in order to fire event, but I do not
want to allow users of the class to set the property?

May I doble declare the property like:

public int MyProp {get { return myVar;}}
private int MyProp {set {myVar = value;}}

Thanks
Sunny

Alas, it's not possible at the moment - it will be in the next version
of C#.

Thanks Jon, I guessed so

Btw, how can you be so fast I always wonder how fast you answer

Thanks again
