If you were to also define two methods named get_SocialSecurityNumber() and set_

SocialSecurityNumber() in the same class, you would be issued compile-time errors:

// Remember, a property really maps to a get_/set_ pair!

class Employee

{

...

public string get_SocialSecurityNumber()

{

return empSSN;

}

public void set_SocialSecurityNumber(string ssn)

{

empSSN = ssn;

}
