  1. Fields and properties have many differences other than semantic.

    1. Properties can be overridden to provide different implementations in descendants.
    2. Properties can help alleviate versioning problems. I.e. Changing a field to a property in a library requires a recompile of anything depending on that library.
    3. Properties can have different accessibility for the getter and setter.
