I have a class, the class has properties and methods, Properties have his
private variables
So, from my local method what is better to use? the property or the variable

I personally prefer using the property wherever possible. Indeed, I
wish in C# there was a way of hiding the variable from everything other
than the properties, to ensure access goes through them. That way you
can guarantee that if you put a breakpoint in the setting property (for
instance) you can always see when the value changes. You can guarantee
that any consistency checks you have are always carried out, etc.
