What Is the Difference Between Properties and Indexer in C

Properties are invoked through a described name and can be declared as a static or an instance member. Indexers in C# are data members that act as an array and allow you to access data within objects to be indexed in the same way. Indexers are always declared as instance members, never as static members.

What is the difference between property and indexer?

Indexers enable a feature by which an object of a class can be indexed like an array, whereas properties enable to manage access to a class instance data.

What is the use of indexer?

Indexers are a syntactic convenience that enable you to create a class, struct, or interface that client applications can access as an array. The compiler will generate an Item property (or an alternatively named property if IndexerNameAttribute is present), and the appropriate accessor methods.
