Confused: Abstract Class Properties

Question

Abstract class, contains property:

private Box padding_;
public Box Padding
{
    get { return padding_; }
    set {
        padding_ = value;
        Model.UpdateValues( );
    }
}

Later I update the property of an inherited class instance, property updated:

ExitButton.Padding.Top = 5f;

The code in the setter isn't being called. I'm super confused.

Answer 1

Nothing to do with abstract classes really. This simply doesn't call the setter for Padding :

ExitButton.Padding.Top = 5f;

It calls the getter for Padding , then calls the setter for the Top property in the Box object returned by that getter.
