C# 14: The field Keyword – Or Should I Say: I Had a Dream?

Read Original

This technical article details the new 'field' keyword introduced in C# 14. It explains how this keyword allows developers to access the compiler-generated backing field of an auto-implemented property, enabling the addition of custom logic (like raising PropertyChanged events) without manually declaring a private field. The post contrasts this with traditional auto properties and full properties, providing code examples and historical context from the author's 2008 proposal.
