public string NewPassword { get; set; }

What on earth does it mean, and how does it fit in the Language.

private: string m_NewPassword;
public:
  string get_NewPassword() {
    return m_NewPassword;
  }
  string set_NewPassword(string Value){
    m_NewPassword = Value;
  }

It is also totally unclear to me which part of an operation is executed on the Server, and which on the Client, or how to control this.

I understand that #include is out in C#,actually the whole C-Pre-processor is out, which robs me of a number of well tried and tested debugging methods.

Global Variables are out to, but, there is something called a 'namespace'

namespace A.B.C {
  public class X {
  }
}
// And 
namespace A {
  namespace B {
    namespace C {
      public class X {
      }
    }
  }
}

public static class GlobalVars {
  public static int global_counter = 0;
  public static string global_string = "Yep.";
}

The Third question is, does the framework code generated by 'Visual Web Developer 2010 Express' keep track of internet Session Status, or do I have to write substantial code myself to ensure that the database the site is using is:
-Aware of Other Users
-Arbitrates between DB Updates
-Remains consistent

class GetPassword
    {
        private string _NewPassword; //This cannot be changed by any method outside the class 'GetPassword'

        public string NewPassword //However this class can change the value of the private attribute
        {
             get{return this._NewPassword ;} // get meaning return the newly stored string held in the private variable above, this is usually the last thing return  when called outside of the class 'GetPassword'
             set{this._NewPassword = value ;}// This sets the new password or creates the new string before the actual value is returned or called from outside the class 'GetPassword'
        }
    }
private string _NewPassword;

private void button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           GetPassword setPassword = new GetPassword(); // Allocate memory space for the object
           setPassword.NewPassword = tbSetPassword.Text; // the '= implies we want to 'set the new property of the attribute
           MessageBox.Show(setPassword.NewPassword); // but in this statement we are not really asking to set any properties, yet we only want to 'return' the value that has already been set above ^ which should then give us what we typed into the password box.
       }

setPassword.NewPassword = tbSetPassword.Text;

set{this._NewPassword = value ;}

MessageBox.Show(setPassword.NewPassword);

get{return this._NewPassword ;}

my actual question is this: when i do "return doc.doc_data" does it make a copy of the data on the stack and pass it back, or does it simply return a ptr / ref to that data?

does the getdoc() function return a copy of the data or a ptr to the data?

i guess i was asking if the function returns a pointer to the data or a copy of the data

that's what i do not quite get in c#
