C# 14: Introducing field-backed auto‐properties via the contextual keyword field

Read Original

This article explains a new feature in C# 14: the contextual keyword 'field'. It enables developers to write logic (like validation or trimming) within auto-implemented property accessors, using 'field' to refer to the compiler-generated backing field. This reduces boilerplate code, improves encapsulation, and simplifies the evolution of properties from simple auto-properties to ones with custom logic.
