Syntax for virtual members

Question

Consider the following class written in c# .net 4.0 (typically found in a nhibernate class):

public class CandidateEntity : EntityBase
{
    public virtual I         


        

Answer 1

The backing field is one way. Another is to use a private setter. This works well in nHibernate.

public virtual IList Grades { get; private set; }

public CandidateEntity()
{
     Grades = new List();
}
