title: Differences between Private Fields and Private Properties
body: <p>What is the difference between using Private Properties instead of Private Fields</p>
  
  <pre><code>private String MyValue { get; set; }
  
  // instead of
  
  private String _myValue;
  
  public void DoSomething()
  {
     MyValue = "Test";
  
     // Instead of
  
     _myValue = "Test";
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there any performance issue ? or just a naming convention ?</p>
