✅ Am i misremembering how Getters work?
I have a private list in one class and I need to be able to get a copy of it in another class. I have an auto implemented getter for the private list, but I still can’t get anything
I thought the getter on a private property was supposed to let you get the item while it was private

When you ask a question, make sure you include as much detail as possible. Such as code, the issue you are facing, what you expect the result to be, what .NET version you are using and what platform/environment (if any) are relevant to your question.

show code
if the property is private the entire property is private
if you just want the setter to be private you do
public Type MyProperty { get; private set; }
I thought the getter on a private property was supposed to let you get the item while it was privatethat, uhhh..... is what it does? having a getter on a property and the accessibility of the property (
public
, protected
, private
, internal
) are completely unrelated
having a getter means you can get it
being private means it's private
(cannot be accessed by other classes)Thank you. You’ve both answered my question
And sorry about not posting the code
