Problems with get set testing.

Hy everybody!

 

I have some problem with the {get; set} formulas. Here is an example:

 

/* CODE IN  MYCONTROLLER CLASS*/
String exampleString {get;set}
...
 
So, If I want to use the set method with a parameter, for example:
 
/* CODE IN MYCONTROLLERTESTMETHOD */
mycontroller controller = new mycontroller();
controller.setExampleString('TestString');
I got an error.
 
 What does it mean exatly: {get;set}?

This syntax is used for automatic properties.
 
To test the setter, you simply assign a value:
 
controller.exampleString='MyExample';
 
To test the setter, you simply read it:
 
String str2=controller.exampleString; 
 
There's more detail in the Apex Developer's Guide on page 97.

Thanks your answer, you're right. 
It's very simple (as you write: controller.exampleString=''MyExample') if you use the public access modifier. But my variable is private.
So I will change the modifier.
