Is it possible to bind to a field?

[kender_a]

Colleagues,

I have a text box which binds to data:

<TextBox x:Name="textBox1" Text="{Binding Path=Comments}" Width="200" Margin="0,4" />

If Comments is declared as a property, the binding works:

public int Comments { get; set; }

However, if Comments is declared as a field, the binding doesn’t work:

public int Comments;

I haven’t seen an example where a control was bound to a field, but I haven’t seen any indication that it’s a bad practice or not possible.
