Changing public field to property

In a c# class, I have changed what was previously a public field to
become a property with the exact same name as the old field. (I have
renamed the old field). Does this break compatability in terms of
calling code calling the original class. What seems to be happening is
that the old calling code needs to be rebuilt to use the updated class.
Is the change I made a compatability issue ?

thanks for any light shed.

Yes, look in the MSIL to see the difference. FE, get_Foo and set_Foo.
