Description

Currently, MC .net requires you to declare input properties using this syntax:
     private int m_length = 9;
     [Input]
     public int length{
       get { return m_length; }
       set { m_length = value; }
     }
This is unnecessarily verbose. It would be great if we could use either of the following forms. The first uses auto-implemented properties, with a modification to the Input attribute:
     [Input default=9]
     public int length {get; set; )
The second uses a public variable, as opposed to a property:
     [Input]
     public int length = 9;
I think the last version is the cleanest and easiest to read. However, if MC .Net could support these syntaxes, then people could pick whichever form they liked best. See the attached link to the discussion forum post on this issue.

In C# 6 you can do:

 [Input]
 public int length { get; set; } = 9;

Please vote up MC-1968 to support C# 6 compiler:
