Convert Method to Property refactoring
This refactoring helps you convert methods with return values and without parameters to properties with the corresponding get
accessor, and methods with void
return type and exactly one parameter to properties with the corresponding set
accessor.
If there is an existing property with a single accessor and the converted method has compatible parameter type or return type, the refactoring can add the second accessor to the existing property.
Consider the following example:
To convert a method to a property
- Place the caret at the declaration or a usage of a method in the editor, or select it in the File Structure window.
- Do one of the following:
- Press Ctrl+Shift+R and then choose Convert Method to Property
- Right-click and choose Refactor | Convert Method to Property in the context menu.
- Choose in the main menu.
- Type the name for the property name leave the default suggestion. You can type the name of an existing property with a single accessor if the converted method will fit as the second accessor.
- To apply the refactoring, click Next.
- If no conflicts are found, ReSharper performs the refactoring immediately. Otherwise, it prompts you to resolve conflicts.
