Will use 'k_BackingField' cause version compatibility problem?

Question

Recently, I'm working on serialization with C#.

I found that the automatic-properties' fields are named "<...>k_BackingField".

So my problem is dose this naming rule same in all .Net versions, and it won't change in any situations?

which serialization process are you using? – Daniel A. White Apr 17 '20 at 01:09 — Daniel A. White, Apr 17 '20 at 01:09

It's an internal implementation that may change between the different versions of the C# compiler.

The different serialization mechanisms provided by the libraries have different compatibility rules. For instance, I do not believe that binary serialization is guaranteed to work between different versions of the framework.
