What's the equivalent of VB ReadOnly property in C#?

Question

If I have VB declaration like this Public ReadOnly Property Document() As XmlDocument, what is its C# equivalent? Thanks.

Answer 1

public XmlDocument Document { get; private set; }

Edit as per comments... Thanks guys, didn't even try to see if it would compile.

Answer 2

public XmlDocument Document { get; private set; }   // For .NET 3.5

For Previous Versions

private XmlDocument _document;
public readonly XmlDocument Document
{
    get
    {
        return _document;
    }
    // You don't need a setter
}

Answer 3

You can use automatic properties in C# 3.0+ to achieve the same thing:

public XmlDocument Document { get; private set; }

Answer 4

public XmlDocument Document
{
    get {return someXmlDoc;}
}

Answer 5

VB.Net requires you to write read-only, but C# you only need to exclude the setter part of the property.

Here is a great tool that convert automatically VB.NET code to C# and vise versa http://www.developerfusion.com/tools/convert/vb-to-csharp/
