This can be accomplished in C sharp using what are called nit only setters, which is a feature that was introduced back in version 9 of C sharp. By using this feature, you can enforce immutability so that once the property value is set, it can't be changed again. So here in our code for init props in chapter two let's open up our program code and let's open up our init example file.
