How can we generate getters and setters in Visual Studio?

Question

By \"generate\", I mean auto-generation of the code necessary for a particular selected (set of) variable(s).

But any more explicit explication or comment on good pr

Answer 1

In visual studio 2019, select your properties like this:

Then press Ctrl+r Then press Ctrl+e

A dialog will appear showing you the preview of the changes that are going to be done to your code. If everything looks good (which it mostly will), press OK.

Answer 2

I don't have Visual Studio installed on my machine anymore (and I'm using Linux), but I do remember that there was an wizard hidden somewhere inside one of the menus that gave access to a class builder.

With this wizard, you could define all your classes' details, including methods and attributes. If I remember well, there was an option through which you could ask Visual Studio to create the setters and getters automatically for you.

I know it's quite vague, but check it out and you might find it.

Answer 3

Use the propfull keyword.

It will generate a property and a variable.

Type keyword propfull in the editor, followed by two TABs. It will generate code like:

private data_type var_name;

public data_type var_name1{ get;set;}

Answer 4

By generate, do you mean auto-generate? If that's not what you mean:

Visual Studio 2008 has the easiest implementation for this:

public PropertyType PropertyName { get; set; }

In the background this creates an implied instance variable to which your property is stored and retrieved.

However if you want to put in more logic in your Properties, you will have to have an instance variable for it:

private PropertyType _property;

public PropertyType PropertyName
{
    get
    {
        //logic here 
        return _property;
    }
    set
    {
        //logic here
        _property = value;
    }
 }

Previous versions of Visual Studio always used this longhand method as well.

Answer 5

You can also use "propfull" and hit TAB twice.

The variable and property with get and set will be generated.
