Declare Setter

In This Article

Adds a setter to a read-only property whose reference is currently selected. Selects the generated setter contents, and drops a marker onto the initial property reference.

#Availability

From the context menus or via shortcuts:

  • when the edit cursor or caret is on a reference to a read-only property, providing that this reference is on the left side of an expression.

#Example

private string _MyProperty;
public string MyProperty
{
    get
    {
        return _MyProperty;
    }
}
private void TestMethod(string param)
{MyProperty = param;
}
Private _MyProperty As String
Public ReadOnly Property MyProperty() As String
    Get
        Return _MyProperty
    End Get
End Property
Private Sub TestMethod(ByVal Param As String)MyProperty = Param
End Sub

Result:

private string _MyProperty;
public string MyProperty
{
    get
    {
        return _MyProperty;
    }
    set
    {_MyProperty = value;
    }
}
private void TestMethod(string param)
{
    MyProperty = param;
}
Private _MyProperty As String
Public Property MyProperty() As String
    Get
        Return _MyProperty
    End Get
    Set(ByVal value As String)Throw New NotImplementedException()
    End Set
End Property
Private Sub TestMethod(ByVal Param As String)
    MyProperty = Param
End Sub
