This question might have been asked in a different way that I couldn't find anywhere, or it might be a misunderstanding by me that I'd really appreciate if someone clarifies it. what is the difference between

public readonly string something;

and

public string something {get;}

The first is a read-only field, the second a read-only property. – ckuri Jul 19 '18 at 16:24

The distinction is important for things like WPF applications, since only properties can be data-bound. Trying to data-bind a field will fail. – Bradley Uffner Jul 19 '18 at 16:27
