Question

Is it possible to write code template or a snippet which will do following:

I have a property declared like this:

public string String1 {get;set;}

And I want reshaprer to automatically generate following:

private string _string1;
public string String1
{
    get
    {
        return _string1;
    }

    set
    {

        if (_string1 != value)
        {
            _string1 = value;
            RaisePropertyChanged(() => String1);
        }
    }
}

Just have read the http://koder.wordpress.com/2010/03/25/resharper-inotifypropertychanged/ article and have created new live template which can insert code for a new property like I want it to be.

Is it possible to setup this template in such way, that it can appear in the Alt+Enter menu like a suggestion when cursor on the declaration of a property

Like:

{Access modifiers} **{Type} {Name}** {Possible get;set; statements}

This is the live template I came up with, I assigned ‘npp’ to initiate it. I don’t think that you can Ctrl-Shift-R and replace it, but you can delete the old property declaration line and type ‘npp’ to invoke the template.

private $TYPE$ $NAME1$;
public $TYPE$ $NAME2$
{
    get
    {
        return $NAME1$;
    }

    set
    {

        if ($NAME1$ == value) return;

        $NAME1$ = value;
        RaisePropertyChanged(() => $NAME1$);
    }
}
