Sort of. In C#, the get/set pair of accessors is replaced
by the syntactical construct of a "property":

public interface IXmlReader
{
  ...
  IContentHandler ContentHandler { get; set; }
  IDtdHandler DtdHandler { get; set; }
  ILexicalHandler LexicalHandler { get; set; }
  IDeclHandler DeclHandler { get; set; }
  ...
}

usage:
 
  IXmlReader reader;
  reader.ContentHandler = new MyContentHandler();
  reader.LexicalHandler = new MyLexicalHandler();
