Shortcut to create properties in Visual Studio?


I have seen some people creating properties in C# really fast, but how did they do it?

What shortcuts are available in Visual Studio (currently using Visual Studio 2010) to create properties?

I am using C#.

For example,

public string myString {get;set;}

Solution

  • You could type "prop" and then press tab twice. That will generate the following.

    public TYPE Type { get; set; }
    

    Then you change "TYPE" and "Type":

    public string myString {get; set;}
    

    You can also get the full property typing "propfull" and then tab twice. That would generate the field and the full property.

    private int myVar;
    
    public int MyProperty
    {
        get { return myVar;}
        set { myVar = value;}
    }
