C # properties: how to use a custom set property without a private field?

Question

I want to do this:

public Name { get; set { dosomething(); ??? = value } } 

Can I use an automatically generated private field?
Or it is required that I implement it as follows:

 private string name; public string Name { get { return name; } set { dosomething(); name = value } } 

Answer 1

Once you want to do something custom in a getter or setter, you can no longer use the auto properties.

Answer 2

You can try something like this:

 public string Name { get; private set; } public void SetName(string value) { DoSomething(); this.Name = value; } 

Answer 3

It's impossible. Automatically implemented properties or custom code.

Answer 4

It is required that you fully implement it according to your scenario. Both get and set should either be automatically implemented, or fully implemented together, and not a combination of the two.

Answer 5

Starting in C # 7, you can use expression body definitions for the get and set accessors properties.

 private string _name; public string Name { get => _name; set { DoSomething(); _name = value; } }
