Personally I nearly always use properties.
If a value is being made publicly available, it's normally so it can be changed externally, by using properties I get to validate the data before it reaches the field.
In cases where it's not EVER going to be changed, I do use a public field, but marked as static readonly - or const.
DaveBTW, in software, hope and pray is not a viable strategy. (Luc Pattyn)Visual Basic is not used by normal people so we're not covering it here. (Uncyclopedia)

From an engineering perspective use Getters and Accessors. From a RAD perspective use Properties.
Need custom software developed? I do C# development and consulting all over the United States.
If you don't ask questions the answers won't stand in your way.
Doing a job is like selecting a mule, you can't choose just the front half xor the back half so when you ask me to do a job don't expect me to do it half-assed.

Its very useful when you gonna assign your class to PropertyGrid, Binding to Combo/List Boxes...but for me, I use both, depends on conditions

A better way:
public int UserID { get; set; }
Is it better ?
The only reason (i accept) for using properties over public variables is that changing from a variable to a property breaks your interface.

I generally use properties unless i know for sure that i will never ever want to add logic to get/set. As it's hard to see the future i generally try to err on the side of safety.
...cmk
The idea that I can be presented with a problem, set out to logically solve it with the tools at hand, and wind up with a program that could not be legally used because someone else followed the same logical steps some years ago and filed for a patent on it is horrifying.

Nowadays, try to use an automatic property for that.
If a field is marked readonly I don't mind making it public and foregoing a property.
I use properties when the value is settable from outside the class.
If you have a non-readonly private field with a read-only property, the user can still use Reflection to alter the value of field.
But don't let that stop you from doing the right thing.

I'm not 100% sure about .Net - but I do't think using a 'simple' property uses more processing than using a public variable.
However, a property is more future-prof. if you decide to make a change, and incorporate logic into your getter or setter - it's easer if you already have a getter and setter than if you have a public field. If you're using reflection, you would have to change code to change from a field to a property - and if you mix properties and fields, it can be confusing (as its not obvious which youare using, and using reflection, say to loop over the properties, will miss the fields.
I never use public fields.
The reason being, I see no real advantage of a public field over a simple public property (other than it is less typing - but I don't count that as maintenance is far more expensive than typing time), but sometimes there is advantage to using a property over a public field. Therefore, my standard is to use a property rather than a public field - always. Therefore my fields are always private (or protected) and I know that any access to them is either within that class or a derivative,or via the property.

I have a mystery that I can't figure out. We have a winform application that runs every five minutes as a scheduled job.
On Friday the scheduled task got hung and no one knew it for 24 hours. This application has been working for years. All of the code is in a try catch block that should handle any exception and send an email if an error occurs. On Friday the application simply got stuck...
The only information I have is from the event viewer is the following. How can track down the cause of this error? Is there any way to figure out what line of .net code is at the "reference memory"?
Event Type: Information
Event Source: Application Popup
Event Category: None
Event ID: 26
Date: 2/13/2009
Time: 11:25:04 AM
User: N/A
Computer: myServer
Description:
Application popup: myApp.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x7c82caa2" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".
I didn't get any requirements for the signature

Friends,
I have c# windows application. Is it possible to access the contents of a website using this application?

Hi,
yes it is. you could use the WebBrowser control to display websites or HttpClient to get the content of a page at a lower level.

If you have the application, you can get the answer by running this window application.
On a serious note, try using WebBrowser control.
The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures."

If you want to display the website on your application, WebBrowser control will help. If you need to download the content of web page, use methods provided in WebClient class.

Hi,
I have a C# program that will start another external program (such as notepad). The C# program needs to pass arguments and the working directory to the external program. I have attempted to do this like:
Process process = new Process();
try
{
process.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
process.StartInfo.FileName = @"c:\Windows\notepad.exe";
process.StartInfo.Arguments = @"c:\test.txt";
process.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = @"c:\temp";
process.Start();
process.WaitForExit();
}
catch
{
MessageBox.Show("Error running " + strExe, "Error", MessageBoxButtons.OK);
}
Notepad does start and opens the correct file, but the Working Directory has not been set.
I have tried setting the current directory of the C# applicaiton, then running the notepad process, but the Working Directory is still not set.
Please help!
Pete

How do you know this isn't working?
How do you know what Notepad is receiving for its working directory? Its file open/save dialogs remember the last directory you used.
|
|
|
|
|
I've found out that it does work after all. I started a batch file that printed the current directory and ran this from the process and it did print the Working Directory!!!
I've spent ages trying to get it working with Notepad and kept trying the File/Save As... to see if the folder was the Working Directory. I didn't realise that it was always the last one used.

Sir,
I have created a setup of windows application. It works fine now if I want to change the installer manufacturer, author etc I have to do to the original code. Is there some way that I develop an application in which I load the installer and change its properties and save it with new properties. Or during installation I should be given to change the properties.
Looking forward for your reply.
Thank You.

Hi,
I think for this you have to implement an ocr-application. This is a really hard issue, which was solved by several components (all really expensive).
Maybe you should try something different
