title: C# set/get shorthand Question
body: <p>I"m a little confused with this short hand. Does this allow me to acesss myVar and set myVar like so? </p>
  
  <pre><code>object.myVar = 5;
  newNum = object.myVar;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't get this. </p>
  
  <pre><code> private int myVar;
  
   public int MyProperty
   {
    get { return myVar; }
    set { myVar = value; }
   }
  </code></pre>
