'How to initialize get-only property C#

I have a class like this:

public class Customer
{
  public int Id { get; set; }
  public string FullName { get; set; }
  public string Address{ get; }
}

How may I initialize an instance of this class and setup the 'Address' get-only property value? I've tried with

var customer = new Customer 
{
  Id = 228,
  FullName = "Peter",
  Address = "Kreshatik",
};

but it it doesn't work.

Please, note that it's not my class and I have no ability to change anything there.

Absolutely agree with previous answer by @rfmodulator , under given circumstances reflection is the only possible solution. My steps to resolve this issue would be:

  • check for parameters in all constructors
  • check for public setter methods
  • if you have access to source code, check for Address references (maybe the original purpose was something completely different and there is a reason why its setter is restricted)
  • contact author
  • reflection
