Hi there Gurus!

Can anybody tell me why can't i create Get Set properties using this syntax?

public class Customer
{
    public int ID { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

Brackets after get and set won't help either.

it gives: "ReadOnlyProperty.Customer.ID.get' must declare a body because it is not marked abstract or extern"
Marking them abstract or extern won't help either.

I know that this would do the job:

public int ID
        {
            get
            {
                return m_id;
            }
            set
            {
                m_id = value;
            }
        }

        public string Name
        {
            get
            {
                return m_name;
            }
            set
            {
                m_name = value;
            }
        }

I read from the book that the first one is possible to implement.
Am i missing something?


Thanks in advance,

What version of Visual Studio are you using? I believe this syntax is available only in VS2008 and higher...
