is there a way to use Visual Studio IDE to generate Properties?

I am used to using Java's Eclipse IDE where I can choose one or more fields
and have the IDE automatically generate getter and setter methods for it.

Is there something in the Visual Studio IDE where I can select a field like
"string name;" and automatically generate a Property for it?

No, but VSPropertyGener ator2:

It works in VS2008, as well.

Hi,

I do not know if visually you can do it, in the code you right click
over the variable and select Refactor and there is an option to create
the property. You also can use Ctrl+R , Ctrl+E to do the same

You do not neeed some extra, it is already part of the IDE

That option only works on one property at a time, unless there is some
change I do not know of.

With VSPropertyGener ator2, you can specify all of the private variables and
generate properties in one fell swoop.

Not if you want to create multiple properties at one time, unless there is
something you know that I do not.

In addition to what Ignacio wrote, C# 3.0 (supported in VS2008) provides
"auto-implemented" properties. Depending on how you're actually using the
property, they may (or may not :) ) be a more appropriate approach:

Cowboy,

Thanks for the suggestion!

I tried downloading their version for VS 2005 (since it seems to be the
latest one) and I followed the instructions by extracting those two files
into their appropriate folders (I had to create the folders - they did not
exist) but the option is not showing up under my Tools menu... do you
remember what you had to do to get this working in VS 2008 ?

Ignacio,

What is the current functionality in the IDE for this?

How is it initiated? I can't find it anywhere... I found something for
VB.NET though, but not C#. One of the code snippets.
