Chapter 4: Doing More with C# and ASP.NET 93{}private string myProperty;public MyClass(){myProperty = "Some value";}public string MyMethod(string paramName){return myProperty + paramName}If you’ve used Java, the format should be fairly familiar. Some other languages, likeActionScript 3.0, use the keyword function for methods, but the general approach isthe same. To get a better idea of how to create a pure C# class in an ASP.NET environmentin Microsoft Visual Studio 2008, the next section provides a simple example.Mutators and AccessorsIn general, you should use mutators and accessors (also known as “getters” and “setters”)with private properties. You would use accessors to get the value of a property andmutators to set a value. By doing so, you further encapsulate a variable. However, tokeep the C# functions in the ASP.NET 3.5 web sites relatively short, accessors will notbe used here. To employ a getter/setter model, use the format:MyVar{}get{}set{}return myVar;myVar = value;However, as a reminder of good practices, most of the variables are defined as privateeven though the getter/setter functions are not used.
