What is the advantage of using auto-implemented properties with the default access, instead of using public fields? [duplicate]

Answer 1

Pros

• Easy declaration

Cons

• Can not set a breakpoint inside set/get
• Can not have a code inside get/set
• Do not working on WPF DataBinding
• No concept like a default value for the property, as there is no default field behind it.

Pros and cons are strictly related to the project implementation.

Just a couple of hints, pretty sure others will add something else...
