Expand Accessors (C#, C++)

• Jun 26, 2019

Expands single-line getter or setter code onto multiple lines.

Purpose

This refactoring is great if you plan to expand a property’s getter and setter bodies. With a single keystroke, you can reformat single-line accessor declarations into a multiple line format. This will make it easier to start modifications.

Availability

Available from the context menus or via shortcuts:

• when the caret is at the beginning of a property declaration statement. At least one of the accessors should have single-line declaration.

Notes

• This refactoring affects all accessors with single-line declarations.

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;
    }
}
