code in the class of Transition

C#

public int StageFromId
{
        private get { return _stageId; }
        set { _stageId = value; }
}

its not initializing the value 1671 to the variable. but when i do the same thing in the constrctor in the class it works why?

I think "private get" is bad thing anyway.

If you have a property that can only be set you should do so from the constructor.

You might want to validate your claim there about the getter always being called because its not true. Unless you did something like "StageFromId++" (which is just syntactic sugar for "StageFromId = StageFromId + 1") a getter will never be called on a set.

Yes, my mistake. I was thinking of something else and confusing my project. So much for multi-tasking :)

I would approach this from the debugger and see if you're indeed referencing the same classes as you would expect. They're shouldn't be any issue with what you've posted, but I'm betting it is a situation of referencing the wrong value or some other code is updating that value.

To second BoxyBrown, "private get"s are goofy in my book as well. I like to call those kinds of property's black holes. You can put anything you want into them, but nothing comes out. ;)
