set (C# Reference)

Defines an accessor method in a property or indexer that set the value of the property or the indexer element. See Properties and Indexers for more information.

This is an example of a set accessor for a property called Seconds:

class TimePeriod
{
    private double _seconds;
    public double Seconds
    {
        get { return _seconds;  }
        set { _seconds = value; }
    }
}
