Collapse Accessors (C#, C++)

• Jun 26, 2019

Collapses simple getter or setter code onto a single line.

Purpose

This refactoring is great for making property declarations more compact. With a single keystroke, you can reformat a property’s one-statement accessors to a single-line form.

Availability

Available from the context menus or via shortcuts:

• when the caret is at the beginning on declaration of a setter or getter that contains a single statement.

Notes

• This refactoring affects all single-statement accessors within a property.

Example

C#

private string _MyProperty;
public string MyProperty│
{
    get
    {
        return _MyProperty;
    }
    set
    {
        _MyProperty = value;
    }
}

Result:

C#

private string _MyProperty;
public string MyProperty│
{
    get { return _MyProperty; }
    set { _MyProperty = value; }
}
