title: What is the purpose of set { return; }?
body: <p>I've seen the following code in various places:</p>
  
  <pre><code> namespace My.name.space
      {
          class myClass
          {       
              public CustomObject Name
              {
                  get { return new CustomObject (this.Dog); }
                  set { return; }
              }
  
          }
      }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What is the purpose of <code>set { return; }</code>?</p>
  
  <p>I don't understand what purpose set return would serve.</p>
  
  <p>I would think you could just remove the set accessor completely.</p>
