Set properties of a class only through constructor

Question

I am trying to make the properties of class which can only be set through the constructor of the same class.

Accepted Answer

Make the properties have readonly backing fields:

```
public class Thing
{
   private readonly string _value;

public Thing(string value)
   {
      _value = value;
   }

public string Value { get { return _value; } }
}
```
