✅ Shorten Property code

Is there a simpler way to write this:

private bool _gistEdited = false;
public bool GistEdited
{
    get {
        return _gistEdited;
    }
    set
    {
        _gistEdited = value;
        mainWindowControl.SaveButton.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255,255,0,0));
    }
}

private bool _gistEdited = false;
public bool GistEdited
{
    get {
        return _gistEdited;
    }
    set
    {
        _gistEdited = value;
        mainWindowControl.SaveButton.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255,255,0,0));
    }
}

I know you can do:

// No private backing memeber
public int GistEdited { get; set; }

// No private backing memeber
public int GistEdited { get; set; }

And also:

// No private backing memeber
public bool GistEdited { get => GistEdited; set => mainWindowControl.SaveButton.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0)); }

// No private backing memeber
public bool GistEdited { get => GistEdited; set => mainWindowControl.SaveButton.BorderBrush = new SolidColorBrush(Color.FromArgb(255, 255, 0, 0)); }

But with the former, you can't do the mainWindowControl.SaveButton.BorderBrush =... and with the latter, you can't set GistEdited (as it'd result in an infinite loop)

if u use Community ToolKit and a trigger Binding your GistEdited yeah it would be just

[ObservableProperty]
private bool _gistEditec;

[ObservableProperty]
private bool _gistEditec;

and CTK does all the boiler plate for u with SG Trigger example

<Button Width="200" Height="40">
    <Button.Style>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding GistEdited}" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="DarkGoldenrod"/>
                    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2"/>
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </Button.Style>
</Button>

<Button Width="200" Height="40">
    <Button.Style>
        <Style TargetType="{x:Type Button}">
            <Style.Triggers>
                <DataTrigger Binding="{Binding GistEdited}" Value="True">
                    <Setter Property="BorderBrush" Value="DarkGoldenrod"/>
                    <Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="2"/>
                </DataTrigger>
            </Style.Triggers>
        </Style>
    </Button.Style>
</Button>
