Question

Just saw few tutorials and was quite confused that authors sometimes uses both properties with no restrictions and public fields. I cannot see any reason for doing that. Should not I use it just everytime just to be consistent with “standard”?

class A
{
  public bool B;

  private bool c
  public bool C
  {
    get
    {
      return c 
     }
    set
    {
      c=value;
     }

  }
}

Answer 1

Using public fields is almost always a bad idea. Just use properties.

You should also be aware of automatically implemented properties (introduced in C# 3), which allow your C property to be written as:

public bool C { get; set; }
