- generated property name for variables starting with m_ (or any other char) skip m_ part
- property names are sorted by name
- option to create new fields: end of class, beginning of class, after each field, after last field or after last property

vsPropertyGenerator is an Add-On to VisualStudio.net for easily creating/removing properties to C# classes. It works like "Generate Getters/Setters" feature from Eclipse IDE.
After installing, you'll have new tool in your Tools Menu: VSPropertyGenerator.
To use just open any C# source file and run the tool. You should see a dialog like the one in the below screenshot. Click checkboxes next to Get to create get property and Set to create set property. If a checkbox is checked and you uncheck it, the tool will remove the property.
Tip: For faster access, assign some shortcut key to the tool.

It would be nice if there were a way to generate "All". IOW, auto-check all getters/setters.
Great tool though. Coming from Eclipse, this was definitely needed.

Hi!
Nice tool, do you thought about adding the option to generate Properties für .vb files/Visual Basic?

Any chance of a version of this that also does getter/setter code for c++ as well, even if it left the methods empty to be implemented.

Update (Sorry I was quick to post) Apparently it's not popping up not because of the leading underscore but if you do not have a leading scope operator (public, private, protected) By default. Just FYI .Net assumes that all attributes are private without a specified scope operator. Now having said this .. if you have already defined a property for these variables, it does run.

Nice utility. Tho I have a problem. When creating variable that start with an underscore for example string _text; The property generator will not start. If I remove (Comment) these entries out of the class then it will. I am using ver 1.1 of the generator. Would suggest that if it comes across the properties with the underscore, then it would generate properties without the leading character. ie string _item; would generate public string Item.

Cool app! My only suggestion is some kind of "select all" button, if we want to click everything.

Very good and useful tool, but:
The generator throws an "Exception HRESULT:0x80022001" if the first character of the variable name is in upper case.

I'm still writing in v1.0 .net framework. Do you have a version that runs on 1.0?

Nice tool. Could you add an option to strip off all characters prior to the 1st uppercase character when determining the property name. For example, "private int m_iIndex;" would create a property named "Index" rather than "M_iIndex".

Is it run on .NET framework 1.0 and with the VS.NET 2002 version? I installed it but cant find any menu item in Tools. Where am i wrong?

very useful - thanks a lot :-)
one thing: the order of generated properties doesn't match the member's which is a bit of a problem in case of a huge amount of properties...

Does the Generator only run with Visual Studio 2003? After installation I have no new Tool in my Tools-Menu. I use Visual Studio 7.

what method are you using to generate the code? is it using the CodeDom namespace? if so, you should provide an option for VB.NET or C#.
