Can someone explain better what is going on whenever something.something is going on?

Unfortunately I just don't seem to comprehend what is happening 90% of the time with this class.

I understand the general purpose of . in C#, it's calling or instantiating I think? Like Console.WriteLine we're calling the writeline method from the console class?

So I think I get the general idea of this, but can someone please give me an indepth explanation better than in the video about what we are calling from where and what is being referenced or sent to or information given or retrieved or whatever the hell is happening when, for example, he calls invader.Location = location?

Thanks. Slow learner, really frustrated.

You forgot to provide a link to the course page you are asking about. Also please give an approximate time point.

Sorry Steve.

Around 3:52 he referenced the code I'm talking about.

I guess I just mean in general as well, to the concept.

I meant link the course page not just the video, but obviously I found it.

The line you are referring to is being deleted at this point. What that line did before was to set the field in the "invader" object. But then some other changes made it not needed.

The point of this lesson is what is being done over in the "Invader" module, the field gets replaced by an auto-property with private setting.
