Dear all,I had written a webserver use HttpListener, when i respon data to client, some time it show error: System.Net.HttpListenerException (0x80004005): The specified network name is no longer available
at System.Net.HttpResponseStream.Write(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 size)
Can anyone give me a help or suggestion?
Thanks very much.

I read the article from the Insider[^] about properties and methods and the author states
Issue 1.
Quote: Properties should be stable: that is, the value of a property shouldn't change “on its own". Rather, changes in properties are the results of calling property setters, or some other action changing the state of the object
So the mass of a car can be a property since it doesn't change, but the total mass, including fuel, can't be since fuel is burned and so changes.
A specific example is DateIime.Now which should not be a property because it changes and really ought to have been a method GetCurrentDateIime.
I'm assuming the author means we should have a IimeZone object with a Now property, with Now being updated explicitly through some process such as TimeZone.Now = DateTime.GetCurrentDateIime(). Which seems a great way to spend your spare CPU cycles.
Can someone smarter than me please explain why properties should only be things that can't change? To stretch the car analogy if you have an Engine and Radiator object with the Radiator having a property Temperature then I can accept the argument that the water doesn't get hotter on its own. You'd have something like
class Engine
{
void RunEngine()
{
...
water.Temperature += Degrees(10);
...
}
}
But what of the Car object that aggregates an Engine and a Radiator object? The car's EngineIemperature property (which is a façade for the Engine.Temperature property) is going to change "on its own" sorta kinda. It'll change due to changes passed on by internal objects.
Issue 2.
The author states
Quote: Property getters should always succeed: they should never throw an exception. Return some reasonable default value if the property cannot be logically computed right now because the object is in a bad state.
Doesn't this fly in the face of the "use exceptions not error codes" argument. I understand we're not talking about returning an error code - we're talking about completely hiding the fact that there was an error and simply returning a value that is "reasonable". In fact aren't we simply bypassing the entire exception-vs-errorcode debate and simply ignore it?
Sure - you can return null values for properties that don't currently exist on an object, but what if a property is expansive to retrieve and a timeout / resource error / whatever happens while querying the property. Surely something should be mentioned to the caller that may the value they have is a little dodgy and maybe they should try again later?
All in all this seems like a discussion on theoretical guidelines that ignore important realities.
What are your thoughts? Where am I going wrong in my thinking here?
cheers

I think these are like the pirate code: they are more like... guidelines!
Feel free to ignore them! 
My guidelines are very simple:
- if you can get and set it and it and it's inexpensive: then it's a property
- if it looks good as a (still inexpensive) property: then it's a property!

I agree.
Seriously, a developer has to use his own brain and not just blindly follow "rules" made up by others.
"But his unbiased opinion, his mature judgment, his enlightened conscience, he ought not to sacrifice to you, to any man, or to any set of men living. ... Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion." -- Edmund Burke, 1774
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

You are way too kind! I thought it was more opinionated than based on any practical application. I closed the page before getting half-way through it and then I look here and find I'm not alone. There is obviously a concern over performance but after that, my only question is, "Did it work?"

First and most importantly, why do some of your capital Ts come out as capital Is?
Chris Maunder wrote: the value of a property shouldn't change “on its own"
What the heck does that mean, anyway? Does it mean other than by calling its setter? or by some dark and mysterious magical incantation?
I think what he is trying to say is that, if I instantiate a Car object, look at Car.Property,then wait a while without doing anything to the Car object, I should expect the value of Car.Property to remain unchanged.
In the example of Car.Temperature this plainly wouldn't be the case.
In a way, perhaps it would be better to use Car.GetTemperature(); as an indication that something may have changed (presumably on a separate thread, the temp is increasing).
It sort of makes sense to me, as a convenience so I can see which 'properties' of an object may be affected outside of my use of that object, but I'm buggered if I can think of a real-world case I've ever come across where this would have helped. *
With the exception throwing side, again I think he may be getting at putting volatile stuff in a method rather than a property - so the dev is 'warned' that this retrieval may cause an issue whereas, were it a property they'd be guaranteed some value.
Again, while I can potentially see value, I can't think of a case it would have been useful to me *
* In cases where really, real;ly badly written code has been before me, such rules may have helped, but when badly written code is there, chances are such rules would be broken too.

A very good question and I'm glad you asked.
I was typing this up while working on a few other things, then around midnight I was about to post it and my browser locked up. Totally. I'd written a fair bit over the course of my meanderings and didn't feel like retyping it, and I certainly couldn't remember off the top of my head what I'd written, so I took a screen shot of the locked up browser Just In Case.
Minutes went by and Chrome didn't unlock, and I was tired and lazy, and so I uploaded the screenshot I'd grabbed to an online OCR service that translated the image to text. I then copy and pasted the text into a new message window, fixed a few bits and pieces - mainly T's coming out as I's - and hit send. At exactly the same time the Chrome browser unlocked itself and was waiting, ready to post.
And obviously I missed some I's.

I'd prefer:
if (liveInAlaska && someIdiotPutPlainWaterInRadiator && itIsWinter) throw exception("CrackedBlock");
to returning '20' 
In reality perhaps it depends on what type of program you are creating. If you are making diagnostic software for all modes of engine failure, a property of 'blockIsCracked' might actually make sense. But the article kinda indicates that shouldn't be a property, but a method? Too confusing - ignore the article and code whatever makes sense in the situation.
A more interesting article would have included the history of the use of properties in programming languages, and how that fit into his philosophy. Was Borland's '__property' the first extension to address this, and were they initially created to make IDEs easier to write, by giving the IDE a hook into the created executable so the IDE could display about the same thing as the final program? Or do they have a deeper history I'm unaware of?

Properties 'stability' convention could make sense (to me) in some contexts.
If you adopt such convention then Issue 2 is no more an issue.

I like Eric's thinking/teaching, and consider him, along with Skeet, Gravell, and others, including certain CP members whose names I won't mention since they can't blush, a guru's guru.
The best statements I've seen about Properties in .NET C# are in the Language Reference Manual (4th. edition with annotations) by Hejlsberg, et. al., page 43 ff., and in the comments by Liberty, Lippert, Sells, and Wagner inserted in-line as call-outs. ISBN 978-0-321-74176-9 ... see: [^].
imho, in theory, Properties are a higher-level abstraction of a Field that encapsulate behavior necessary to get/set their internal virtual backing-field, but, generally, in OOP, model attributes, rather than behavior.
Of course, in real-world practice ... well: : "In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not." Albert Einstein

Interesting.
For another take look here:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/w86s7x04.aspx[^]
Properties allow the hiding of the value in the backing store. "It is common for properties to use private fields as a backing store. The field is marked private in order to make sure that it can only be changed by calling the property." This is a very usefull way of preventing silly things from happening to the actual value and to know when the value changes because that is done through the setter. "They can take an action when data is changed, such as raising an event, or changing the value of other fields." This is another way of stating Lippert's premise "Properties should be stable" with which I agree.
About throwing exceptions the MSDN seems to disagree:
"The get accessor must end in a return or throw statement, and control cannot flow off the accessor body."
Peter Wasser

You're not going wrong in your thinking, you're just trying to apply black and white on a colour picture.
And since a property anyway is a wrapper for one or two methods, I feel you're free to do some interpretation of your own.

In what way?
It feels like an argument for sticking to a convention without a justification for that convention. What I'm after, I guess, is the justification - or maybe as someone has stated, the history behind the thinking.

It was meant to be an argument in the opposite direction.
I don't see a guideline as a black and white law. But rather as 'This was the purpose, if it doesn't fit perfectly, do what makes most sense.'

All bullocks
A property of a car is a sort of description that describes it. The more properties you assign to a car the better it is described. Color, brand, numberoftires, but also speed, xy position, turning angle, ... are properties, because they all describe the capacity or character of that car.
A method is something that car can do (and possibly changes some properties in the process). Accelerate, turn, flipupsidedown are all examples of things that a car can do...

Issue 1 ignores cases where you must use a property rather than a method. Binding in WPF and serialization come to mind. More importantly, it also ignores the fact that C# properties are merely syntactic sugar provided by the compiler around method calls, which makes the whole discussion rather pointless.
Issue 2 is a guideline I wouldn't apply very rigorously. If your application uses exceptions, then your property accessors should throw exceptions as needed. If it checks return values, then is should use a recognizable error return. If the property in question can safely return a default value rather than an error value or throw an exception, then do that.
Eric does state that these are only guidelines. For the most part, I think they're useful. As always, the key is knowing which part of the blade is sharp.

Sure, but if you talk about Properties outside of technical implementation details then the discussion applies.

I agree with you, these are at best overly prescriptive and arguably just wrong.
In my mind, a property should be a description of the state of an object. Whether that's state that's been set explicitly by previously assigning the property, implicitly by the interaction of other property setters or methods, or state that is emergent from the internal workings of the object, doesn't really matter. A property getter should be asking the question 'what is your state', whereas a method call is an instruction to do something, and any result from a function or stateful method should be a return value related to what you did, not just a reflection of object state.
Some of his points I definitely agree with: a property getter should not change the state of the object, and it should be fast. For this reason I also agree with him that you should be careful with load-on-demand properties; sometimes there's a good reason to do it, but one should seriously consider whether code that may take long enough it's worth lazy-loading its result should actually be a method call instead. Load-on-demand properties can be a lovely convenience, particularly when working with classes that cover database or file access, and I have used them quite a bit in that context, but they should always come with a health warning.
I'm definitely with you on the exception thing, though. If an object is in an invalid state and you ask it a question about its state, it's reasonable for an exception to be thrown. It's generally a good design principle to make it very difficult to get an object into an invalid state, by making property setters and state-changing methods throw if the thing you've asked them to do is invalid, but sometimes it is unavoidable (e.g. if you're covering a network dependency and the connection was dropped).
I don't have a problem with returning lists, arrays or mutable types from properties, as long as it's documented or well known among the relevant people whether it's okay to mess with them or not. As long as the class doesn't actually cause a major crash if you break its internal state assumptions, allowing the user to go down the road of 'garbage in, garbage out' by abusing your API is fine. Coders are intelligent people, we don't need to make everything idiot proof.
