thanks ssrs2..... but why need to mention 'get'.

 

please post the links to refer on that

I also have the same question. Why do we use the prefix 'get'?

It means we can't use our own name for a method?

Hello shra1_dev;

  Visualforce markup can use the following types of controller extension and custom controller methods:

  • Action
  • Getter
  • Setter

You can also use Apex class properties (as described in the Apex Reference.   In this case there is no get/set prefix added.
