How to get a property in contructor

Hi ,

 

Can I get property into my contructor   ? 

 

For example if I have a private list of Contacts and can I use getter methods into my contructor ?

 

The code below does not work

 

public class ExtContact {
    
    private list<contact> lstcontact;            
    
    public ExtContact(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
          
          public list<contact> getlstcontact(){
                lstcontact=[select id,firstName,lastName from contact LIMIT 10];
                return lstcontact;
           }
    }

}

 

 

Please suggest,

 

Regards,

Sane

Property will be pre-evaluated in your class, When you will create an object of the class then you will be able to get values from the property. PLease follw the follwing link --http://www.salesforce.com/us/developer/docs/apex_workbook/apex_workbook.pdf to get more clarification!

You can get please follow the code give below.

    private list<contact> lstcontact;            
    //Conctructor
    public ExtContact(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {          
         lstcontact = getlstcontact;
    }

}
/*Property*/
public list<Contact> getlstcontact{
	get{
		if(lstcontact == null){
			lstcontact = new list<Contact>();
