✅ C# best practices clarification

By convention, which is preferable to use? Getter and Setter methods or properties? Are the equivalent? Or is there a benefit to either? (I'm still new to C#).

Properties We ain't writing Java around these parts

lolll straightforward is there a reason why visual studio offers that as a "refactoring"? is that a style microsoft supports/ are there C# coders in the wild that are doing it that way? (kinda offtopic question but yeah)

Some learning-averse Java refugees might still be writing boilerplate getters and setters ig Besides that, no idea why would anybody write out setter and getter methods Not sure why it's a refactoring either I'd sooner expect one that simply introduces a backing field, but still utilizes the property $getsetdevolve

class Foo
{
    private int _bar;

    public int GetBar()
    {
        return _bar;
    }

    public void SetBar(int bar)
    {
        _bar = bar;
    }
}

class Foo
{
    private int _bar;

    public int GetBar()
    {
        return _bar;
    }

    public void SetBar(int bar)
    {
        _bar = bar;
    }
}

can be shortened to

class Foo
{
    private int _bar;

    public int GetBar() => _bar;

    public void SetBar(int bar) => _bar = bar;
}

class Foo
{
    private int _bar;

    public int GetBar() => _bar;

    public void SetBar(int bar) => _bar = bar;
}

can be shortened to

class Foo
{
    private int _bar;
    public int Bar {
        get { return _bar; }
        set { _bar = value; }
    }
}

class Foo
{
    private int _bar;
    public int Bar {
        get { return _bar; }
        set { _bar = value; }
    }
}

can be shortened to

class Foo
{
    private int _bar;
    public int Bar {
        get => _bar;
        set => _bar = value;
    }
}

class Foo
{
    private int _bar;
    public int Bar {
        get => _bar;
        set => _bar = value;
    }
}

can be shortened to

class Foo
{
    public int Bar { get; set; }
}

class Foo
{
    public int Bar { get; set; }
}

Refactoring to step 3 or 4 on this scale Not to step 1
