Any reason to use auto-implemented properties over manual implemented properties?

Question

I understand the advantages of PROPERTIES over FIELDS, but I feel as though using AUTO-implemented properties over MANUAL implemented properties doesn\'t really provide any

Answer 1

I don't know about everybody else, but I tend to pause a moment to think what I should name my variables and functions so others can understand my code.

So when I use auto-implemented properties, I only have to pause once.

When I need a backing field I have to pause two times, so it slows down development a bit :)

The way I do it is:

1. Make it a private variable in the start
2. Change it public auto-implemented if needed.
3. Change it to backing field if I need some code in get or set.

There is nothing wrong if different properties of a class are exposed differently.
