>I was wondering if anyone had come up with a good methodology for implementing access and assign methods in .NET?

I am not the best with .NET (I know almost nothing :o)) But aren't Get and Set equivalents for Access and Assign?

Something like (this is from HELP):

 public string Name
    {
        get // Access 
        {
            return m_name;
        }
        set // Assign
        {
            m_name = value;
        }
    }
