Accessing members in your own class: use (auto)properties or not?

Question

I\'ve created this \"question\" as a community-wiki, because there is no right or wrong answer. I only would like to know how the community feels about this specific issue.

Answer 1

I don't like prefixing members either, but actually I find I can write something like this accidently and not spot it until run time. Which kinda tempts me to avoid using properties where they're not necessary... but I still do, currently!

Public String MyString
{
   { get { return this.MyString; } }  //<== Stack Overflow
   { set { this.myString = value; } } 

}
private String myString;
