C# Automatic properties to wrap private fields? -

can encapsulate private field through automatic property in c#? when use c# properties surely can encapsulate private fields like.

private string owner; public string owner {   { return owner; }   set { owner=value;} } 

what happens when use automatic property?

public string owner { get; set; } 

that way interact property itself, right? there way use automatic property encapsulate private field? how work?

is there way use automatic property encapsulate private field?

yes; exactly automatically implemented property is. simply: compiler declares field - never see field directly. perhaps real question here should be:

if use automatically implemented property, can access underlying field directly?

to answer is: no; access property instead. after jit inlining, you'll never know difference anyway.
