.NET property generating “must declare a body because it is not marked abstract or extern” compilation error

Question

I have a .NET 3.5 (target framework) web application. I have some code that looks like this:

public string LogPath { get; private set; }
public string ErrorMsg          


        

Answer 1

The syntax is valid. And you can set different access modifiers. You aren't on an Interface are you? And the class these are in isn't abstract is it?

Also, doesn't matter what v. of the framework you target because this is a compiler feature. VS2008 will implement the property w/ backing stores for you.
