the property value can not be changed . values for read
only property can be assigned through object creation.

private int m_id = -1;
private string m_name = string.Empty;

public Customer(int id, string name)

m_id = id;
m_name = name;

Answer / deep

In VB.NET:
Private mPropertyName as DataType
Public ReadOnly Property PropertyName() As DataType
Get Return mPropertyName
End Get
End Property
In C#
Private DataType mPropertyName;
public returntype PropertyName
{
get{
//property implementation goes here
return mPropertyName;
}
// Do not write the set implementation
}
