I'm not sure about combining a property with its backing store - unless the
shorthand version is being used, in which case it seems OK.
And if the concern is about magic values and new keywords, this version needs
neither:
class Book {
// explicitly declared backing store for author property.
private string author_;
string author {
string() { return author_; }
void(string value) { author_ = value; }
}
// Shorthand property, backing store is generated by compiler.
string title {
string();
void(string);
}
}
Slightly more verbose, but it's not hideous and doesn't feel alien.
John.
