get method for a readonly member in C#
<p>I have a class definition in which a readonly member is defined.</p>

<pre><code>private readonly Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt; map = new Dictionary&lt;string, string&gt;();
</code></pre>

<p>Now in order to test my design, I want to access this member outside its class definition. I was thinking of providing a <code>get</code> method but unable to write an error free syntax.</p>

<p>Is it possible to assign value to a member(using <code>new</code>) and still able to define its <code>get</code> method?</p>

<p>PS: I am new to C# language.</p>

<p><strong>EDIT:</strong>
I have not written the code, its just a statement I have copied from an already written module. I have made some design changes in the module and want to test it with minimal changes possible in the code, so for that I was looking to get the readonly access of this member outside the class.</p>
