How to give a default value to a C# Auto-Property?

NickF

Can someone please let me know what is the best way to set a default value to a C# Auto-Property? Is it [possible using a constructor?

Yes, you can use the constructor to do it.

class Test
{
    public Test()
    {
        //do anything before variable assignment

        //assign initial values
        Name = "Default Name";

        //do anything after variable assignment
    }
    public string Name { get; set; }
}
