Properties vs Field

- Properties are first class citizens in C#
- We used properties to achieve abstraction
- Properties are implemented via accessors
- Enable developers to write code that accurately expresses their design intent
#dotnet

Read only Properties

- Serve the purpose of getters
- Use them for retrieving the information in DTO
- We can not set them

#dotnet

Write only Properties
- Serve the purpose of setters
- We can not use them for reading the data
#dotnet

Auto Implemented Properties
- Use them as setter/getter
- Most simple form of properties

#dotnet

Required properties
- Used for validation purpose 
- To make sure that required properties are present

#dotnet

Init only Properties
- Used to set the data
- One can set data only during object initialization
- Helpful in creating read-only properties
