Is it possible to have both get and set private in a public property?
Is it theoretically possible to have both get and set private in a public property?
I'm not asking about whether it's good code. I got it marked wrong on a test by a professor who said it's an invalid property.

Lol no.. it's not possible.. Otherwise how can you access the property at all? What would be the point of it being public if it can't be accessed? It's a conflict of interest.. As such, you get a compiler error:Cannot specify accessibility modifiers for both accessors of the property or indexer

Remember what the{ get; set; }is shorthand for. It creates a private variable, with a get function and a set function. If both functions are private, nothing outside can see the variable at all, so its not a public property is it?

What's with the close votes? This is a perfectly valid question, it shouldn't be closed.

It shows no research effort. At least writing it down and feeding it to the compiler is expected behaviour before coming here.

Restrictions on Access Modifiers on Accessors Using the accessor
modifiers on properties or indexers is subject to these conditions:
You cannot use accessor modifiers on an interface or an explicit
interface member implementation.
You can use accessor modifiers only if the property or indexer has
both set and get accessors. In this case, the modifier is permitted on
one only of the two accessors.
If the property or indexer has an override modifier, the accessor
modifier must match the accessor of the overridden accessor, if any.
The accessibility level on the accessor must be more restrictive than
the accessibility level on the property or indexer itself.
I have not tested it in Visual Studio, but using an online compiler it spits out the error (and highlights the faulty code):
Cannot specify accessibility modifiers for both accessors of the
property or indexer: (insert property name here).
It makes sense. What would be the point of a "public" property that cannot be accessed publicly at all due to both the setter and getter being marked private. It's a conflict of interest.
