maybe. But code readability is the more important feature :-)
If I'm reading the code and see a property access all I need to know is
that I'm accessing a property. I'd argue that at that level of code
inspection I _shouldn't_ know if it's going through a method or not.
If I implemented the property accessor then it's trivial to jump to the
accessor definition via IDE/whatever, if it's a black-box class then
I'll never know anyway.
There's no appreciable difference in functionality, but I think the C#
implemetnation is marginally cleaner because:
(a) No annoying get/setXXX() (minor, and essentially irrelevent-with
clever IDE/editor usage I never have to type it anyway)
(b) Properties are defined in their own block--nice in folding editors
and visually obvious.
