I have a class which contains a property:
public bool IsMandatory {get;set;}
Now I am adding a method IsMandatory(string str).
public bool IsMandatory(string str)
{
//return false;
//return true;
}
I am getting a compile time error that
the type already contains a definition for 'IsMandatory'
Can't a method name and property name be same in C# ? We use a method and property in different way, why is this giving compile error ?

Yes, It is allowed to define a method with the same name as that of a class.
Ans: A property is a named attribute of an object. Properties define the characteristics of an object such as Size, Color etc. or sometimes the way in which it behaves. A method is an action that can be performed on objects.
Properties can be marked as public , private , protected , internal , protected internal , or private protected . These access modifiers define how users of the class can access the property.
Properties enable a class to expose a public way of getting and setting values, while hiding implementation or verification code. A get property accessor is used to return the property value, and a set property accessor is used to assign a new value.
It's a compiler error because it would cause confusion if the names could be the same. There are some cases where ambiguity could result - for example, when using Action delegates and so on, where methods do not need to have parenthesis, and when using var.
