In C#. If a property isn't used, is it's value still calculated?

Question

Imaginge this class

Class Person
{
  public string Name { get; set; }
  public int SomeExpensiveCalculation {
    get {
      return TimeConsumingCalulation(Name )
    }
  }
}

Since get is a method, I assume, when the the property "SomeExpensiveCalculation" is never requested or used, the function "TimeConsumingCalulation" is never executed. Is this correct?

Answer 1

That's correct. Property getter is just a method that executes when called.

But properties should be simple, avoid expensive calculations inside the property get.
