Getters, setters, and properties best practices. Java vs. C#

Question

I\'m taking a C# class right now and I\'m trying to find out the best way of doing things. I come from a Java background and so I\'m only familiar with Java best-practices;

Answer 1

Whenever possible I prefer public string Name { get; set; } as it's terse and easily readable. However, there may be times when this one is necessary

private string name;

public string Name {
   get { return name; }
   set { name = value; }
}
