I swear I have seen an example of this but have been googling for a bit and can not find it.

Your question reads like you're looking for:
public PropertyName { get; private set; }
But then, given the answers so far I'm not sure I'm interpreting your question correctly. Besides, who am I to question Jon Skeet? :)
