C# - Obsolete only a getter/setter in a property

[nelsonbrodyk]

Hey all,
Just curious, I want to make the "set" in a property obsolete, but not the get or the property. Is there a way to do this?

[System.Obsolete]
Public string FirstName {
get;
set;
}

works fine, but this fails:

Public string FirstName {
get;
[System.Obsolete]
set;
}

Anyone know of a way to achieve this?

If iam understanding your question correctly then u can use this only for set property ...


[System.Obsolete]
public string First_Name
{
set
{
First_Name = value;
}
}

Would it not be easier to just remove the part you do not want?
I think people will get the point pretty quick when it doesn't compile.
Much better then a warning that might be overlooked that says "I'll let you do this, but I'll ignore it" and people be very frustrated as to why things don't work.

While I agree, this is part of a framework, and we have a rule that we only depricate code, we don't remove it in between major revisions. This allows version 1.0 of a client to work on 1.x of the server. In this case, I just want them to stop using the set function of the property, while maintaining the get.
