How can I tell if something is a property or a method?

I am new to programming. Using C# & ASP.Net, how would I differentiate between a property & a method? How can I tell if something is a property or a method?

Another approach (i.e. not using intellisense) is to call the method/property and compile your code. If you've used the wrong syntax the compiler will let you know.

Method calls have to be called with parenthesis, where not with Properties

Visual Studio displays different icons in the IntelliSense list. It's mentioned in the documentation too:

You don't use parenthesis to access properties but you always do when you're calling methods.
