Blair,

To add to Sergey's comments...

Simply adding a custom property to a class does not actually add any functionality to the class. It provides a place where you can store (non-persistant) information within an object. You can then refer to that property from code, both within the class itself and from the outside (depending on whether it is public/protected/hidden).

So the class, by itself, does not "understand" what the property is, until you write code that uses the property.
