How to inject method to auto property in .Net Framework

Question

I have some class Foo with many properties:

public class Foo
{
    public int Property1 { get; set; }

    public int Property2 { get; set; }

    public int         


        

Answer 1

You can use an extension of the int class here. Or whatever data type your getter/setter properties are.

For example

public class Foo
{
    public int Property1 { get; set; }    
    public int Property2 { get; set; }    
    public int Property3 { get; set; }
}

The extension method would look like this

public static class IntExtension
{
    public static void SomeMethod(this int property)
    {
        // ...
    }
}

See the following article to use it with .NET 2.0. Requires that you use a VisualStudio that supports C# 3.0 but it will still work with the output framework as C# 2.0
