Hi everybody,

I checked this page

http://www.dotnetperls.com/property

and I am wondering if there is a way to use get for the public property without using private property and set?

E.g. I have

public string UserCode {get; set;}

and I want to be able to have

{get {if value == null return "" else return value.trim();} set;}

However, this is not working and value is shown up as undefined. So, I understand how to use an extra private property but wondering if there is some shorter syntax here I can use?

Thanks in advance.
