Private Variables to Public Properties - question

[t f]

Hi

I have a class with a bunch of private variables in, is there an easy
way to make these have public properties without having to type it all in?

e.g.

public class Fu
{
private float fBar;

//now instead of having to type this
public float Bar
{
get
{
return fBar;
}

set
{
fBar = value;
}
}
}

thanks

Unfortunately, no, there is nothing in the language that will allow you
to do this. You will have to type out all the properties.

If you really have that many then try a recorded macro or even a permanent
one you can assign to a hotkey. I find macros are undervalued (and even
unknown) by many developers but they frequently save a lot of time. It takes
some thinking for more elaborate activities like this but with practice you
can crank out even complicated scenarios quickly.

ReSharper can create the public members for you once you've created
the private ones.

Sine you're using a prefix "f" be sure to set that prefix in the
options and it'll name the properties appropriately.

HTH,

If you have VS2005, you can right click the field and open the
refactor menu, and choose encapsulate field.

Put your cursor before the first letter of the variable, and press Ctrl R E
