What is the difference between property and method?
Answers were Sorted based on User's Feedback
Property is nothing like a variable and Method is like a
function.
You cannot pass parameters to a property and you can
directly assign value to it.
for a Method, set of lines of code and when it is called
that executes set of lines written in it and generates the
results. you can pass parameters to the method and you can
retirve the result from the method. You cannot directly
assign any value to it but you can pass it by
Parameterizing it.
Ex: Reporter.Filter - Here Filter is a property
Reporter.ReportEvent - Here ReoprtEvent is a mothod.
Reporter.Filter = 0 'this enable the results for the test
results. Here you can directly assig value to it
Reporter.ReportEvent micPass, "Msg1","Msg2". Here we are
passing three parameters to the methos ReportEvent that
send the results to Test Results.
Reporter is either a prepdefined Abstract class/interface
in QTP that has so many Properties and Moethods

Answer / ravi
Properties are a useful way of expressing a feature of an object, allowing get/set in a common way that can be used by APIs like data-binding, reflection and serialization. So for simple values of the object, properties are handy. Properties can't take arguments, should not have significant side-effects*, and should return quickly and repeatably. Also, there is no such thing as an "extension property" (to mirror an extension method) nor a generic property.
(*=lazy loading etc isn't uncommon, however)
Methods (C# doesn't have functions) are better for expressing things that either change the state, or which have an expectation of taking some time and not necessarily being reproducible. They don't tend to work in binding / serialization etc.
Note that properties are actually just a special way of writing methods. There is little functional difference. It is all about expressing intent. The one thing you don't want to expose, however, is fields (the actualintEmployeeAge instance variable).
