thanks. I was referring to the actual difference in meaning between a "field", a "property" and a "member" .. they all mean the same thing to me! – bernam Jul 14 '15 at 13:48
A property has a getter and a setter but field and member are the same thing as far as I'm concerned. – BenCr Sep 15 '15 at 10:30
