Properties

private string name;
public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}

In the above, why doesn't C# just allow one to create a single directive to
make a property?

why not something like

public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}

Why the need to declare the same thing basically twice? If, say there was no
block associated with the variable then its assumed to be a field instead of
a property.

i.e.

public string Name; works and is a "Field".

while

public string Name
{
get { return name; }
set { name = value; }
}

is a property.

Thanks,
Jon
