Re: Business objects with no properties and data binding

Why are the objects designed this way... just asking, maybe there is
something I'm missing.

I would do this:

public class State
{
  private String _abbr;
  private String _name;

  public String Abbr
  {
        get{    return this._abbr; }
  }

  public String Name
  {
 get{    return this._name; }
  }
}

Subject: [DOTNET-WEB] Business objects with no properties and data
binding

Is it possible to data bind a web control (DropDownList) to a list of
business objects which do not have properties but accessor methods
instead:

public class State
{
  private String _abbr;
  private String _name;

  public String GetAbbr()
  {
    return this._abbr;
  }

  public String GetName()
  {
    return this._name;
  }
}

Thank you,
Alex
