Generate Properties

Generate properties that will expose selected fields

1. In the editor, set the caret at the type name or within a type at the line where you want to insert properties that will expose selected fields. If the caret is on the type name, the generated code will be added in the beginning of the type declaration.

2. Press Alt+Insert or choose ReSharper | Edit | Generate Code… from the main menu. Alternatively, you can press Control+Shift+A, start typing the command name in the popup, and then choose it there.

3. In the Generate popup, select Properties / Read-only Properties.

4. In the Generate dialog that appears, select fields to generate properties for.

   

5. Optionally, use the following controls that are applied to all generated properties:

   • Access Rights defines access rights modifiers for generated properties.

   • Read-only defines whether to generate properties as read-only or not. If you choose Automatic, ReSharper will generate only getters for read-only fields, and both getters and setters for any other fields.
     If you have selected Read-only Properties in the Generate popup, the selector is set to Yes, but you can change it if necessary.

   • Virtual (if applicable) adds the virtual modifier to generated properties.

   • Notify on property changes (if applicable) If your class implements the INotifyPropertyChanged or inherits from a class that supports property change notifications (for example, Prism’s NotificationObject) and the method that notify property change is decorated with the [NotifyPropertyChangedInvocator] attribute, you can choose to implement properties with change notification calls. For more information, see INotifyPropertyChanged Support.

6. Click Finish to complete the wizard.
   You can also click Options to review or modify common code generation preferences on the Code Editing | Members Generation page of ReSharper options.
