How do I have a public get and a private set for a property in C#.NET?

using System;
 
public class Person
{
    private string name;
 
    public string Name
    {
        get { return name; }
        private set { name = value; }
    }
 
    public Person( string name )
    {
        Name = name;
    }
}

You're probably thinking that the constructor could simply access the private member variable but I prefer to use properties for any interaction. It also means that you don't have to use the 'this' keyword if members and parameters have the same name:

this.name = name;
