Hi Everybody,

The Basic Question arising in my mind. So I want to discussed with you.

Question : What is the Difference Between Method and Property.
Expect (Number of Prameter in Method and Return Type)

Where we need to Use Method/Property.
Because we can also set the value by using method and method also return the value.

I need to know that is there any Performance issue or Standers for writing the Method/Property.

A Method does some action which affects the application, and may return a result. A Property is a value which can be set or returned, but does not do anything. To be accurate a property may raise an event when it is changed to signal the application that its value has changed.

Your method will contain the datatypes needed for taking the values and adding it. How do you add it by the way?Simple. You use the defined property of addition or use get{} set{} property to define a user required property for addition. Once this is defined the function will possess the property defined and that property is applied to the values inserted by you.
