Rule 01 only in the rarest of occasions should you use public fields in any object..
It breaks the rules of encapsulation and data hiding, It also does not allow any data validation entering the object. I know it can be tedious writing properties for all fields but a good habit to get into. I wish visual studio had a feature to allow you to setup default properties for fields like by displaying a tickbox or something. Has anyone tried the create properties dialog box. Its so useless, I wonder why they didn't take it out in 2003.
