Is there any difference between input declaration

Hello TazoTodua,
Thanks for your post.

You are correct. The top code sample is essentially short hand for the second code sample. The pro of using the top sample would be that it is simpler and in most cases eliminates extra steps. You would really only want to use the second sample if you had a specific reason for overriding those values.

I am including the following publicly available link for the msdn page on using properties, for your convenience.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.

is this :

        ....
        [Display(Name = "Long Alert File Name")]
        public string something
        {
            get; set;
        }

almost same for us, as:

        ....
        [Display(Name = "Long Alert File Name")]
        public string something
        {
            get { return this.XYZ;  }
            set  { this.XYZ= value; }
        }
       private string XYZ= "smth.wav";

??

what are pros and cons of using either? does it matter if we use the first (simple) example ?
