whats fastest: Properties vs variables *Solved*

[onerrorgoto]

I'm making a web control that have some public properties.
These properties are of course linked to private vars.
In my control I of course work with these properties.
My Q is this.

what is the fastest.
To read/set the value of the private var
or
To read/ set the value using the public property.

And what are the common practise?

Well, I'm sure that the fastest method when inside the control would be to use the private variables. But you would probably never notice the difference. However, when getting and setting properties, you may be doing other things that won't happen if you get/set directly with the variable. Just something to keep in mind.
