If you are developer you are probably quite used to writing classes with properties.
public class Customer
{
private string firstname;
public string Firstname
{
get { return firstname; }
set { firstname = value; }
}
}
This is a simple property and there is no logic in the getter and setter of the property. With new coming up C# 3.0 compiler provides short way to use properties with Automatic Properties feature.
When you are using C# 3.0 you can make your classes more concise, For example;
public class Customer
{
public string Firstname { get; set; }
}
Yeah ! I know its cool to write a property in a line ;)
C# 3.0 Compiler will automaticly generate private fields in your class and implement a public getter / setter property implementation to it.

has a great write-up on what happens under the covers when using
automatic properties with the March CTP release of "Orcas". You can
read his excellent blog post on it here.
