How do I create auto-implemented properties in the VS class designer

Question

I\'m using the class designer in Visual Studio 2008 and when I add properties to my classes they are created with an empty setter and a getter that throws a NotImplementedEx

Answer 1

You can create field, and encapsulate it(Refactor->Encapsulate field).
This can help for simple properties.

Answer 2

You can also create a property by using snippet propfull, then Tab, Tab.

Answer 3

AFAIK, you can't. I asked this at Barcelona a year or so ago - I don't think anything has changed. Basically, as I understand it, this is done directly (not via an editable snippet).

Answer 4

For visual studio 2008 you could install this "power toys" that give you another option to class designer menu "create auto-implemented property"
