Private 'set' in C# - having trouble wrapping my brain around it

Question

I\'ve seen a lot of example code written using something like (please forgive how horribly canned this is):

public class Test
{
   public object Thingy { get; pr         


        

Answer 1

To answer the question of a common scenario where this might be used... In an MVP pattern, if your Model exposes some properties for your Presenter I would write

public string Bazinga { get; private set; }

Now, the Model can change this value but other classes that use it cannot.
