Before I start, I know there is this post and it doesn’t answer my question: How to generate getters and setters in Visual Studio?

In Visual Studio 2008 there is the ability to auto generate getters and setters (accessors) by right clicking on a private variable -> Refactor -> Encapsulate Field…

This is great for a class that has 2 or 3 methods, but come on MS! When have you ever worked with a class that has a few accessors?

I am looking for a way to generate ALL with a few clicks (Eclipse folks out there will know what I am talking about – you can right click a class and select ‘generate accessors’. DONE.). I really don’t like spending 20 minutes a class clicking through wizards. I used to have some .NET 1.0 code that would generate classes, but it is long gone and this feature should really be standard for the IDE.

UPDATE: I might mention that I have found Linq to Entities and SQLMetal to be really cool ideas, and way beyond my simple request in the paragraph above.

  1. Sorry, you really need to install Resharper to get approximately the same amount of refactoring support as you are used to in Eclipse.

    However, Resharper gives you a dialog very similar to the one you are used to in Eclipse: Screenshot
