Game Data Editor using an EditorWindow

Hello guys! I am starting my unity development self-learning journey. Since I am a beginner I have many questions. I am using an EditorWindow to edit my game data, to load and save it.

Code (CSharp):

1. if (gameData!=null)
2.         {
3.             SerializedObject serializedObject = new SerializedObject(this);
4.             SerializedProperty serializedProperty = serializedObject.FindProperty("gameData");
5.  
6.             EditorGUILayout.PropertyField(serializedProperty, true);
7.  
8.             serializedObject.ApplyModifiedProperties();
9.  
10.             if (GUILayout.Button("Save data"))
11.             {
12.                 SaveGameData();
13.             }
14.  
15.             if (GUILayout.Button("Load data"))
16.             {
17.                 LoadGameData();
18.             }

Unfortunately, I can't understand why in my editor window I just can manage attributes of my classes.
For example, if I have a class Question with this:

Code (CSharp):

1. public AnswerOptionText[] Answers ;

-> The answers appear in my editor window.

Code (CSharp):

1. public AnswerOptionText[] Answers { get; set; }

-> The answers doesn't appear in my editor window.

I need to use class properties, is there any way to use it and manage it on my editor window?
If someone can help me I would be very grateful. Thanks.

 

This happens because {get; set;} is an auto property, that translates to a get and a set method and a PRIVATE backing field, which are not shown in the inspector by default, you can see every private field by setting the Inspector to Debug Mode.

in C# 7.3, you can now specify an attribute targetting that backing field. So you can do this.

It is working now! Problem solved, thanks a lot!
