Properties are one of the nicest mechanisms within C# and the CLR that enable you to enforce
encapsulation better. In short, we use properties for strict control of access to the internal state of an object.

There are a few reasons to use properties, instead of public fields/methods.

(i)           Properties can be virtual.
(ii)          You can make the setters for a property private.
(iii)         Properties have a 'special' meaning to things that inspect classes at runtime.
