Collapse Accessors

• Aug 03, 2020

Purpose

Collapses accessors’ code into a single line to make code more compact. However, single-line accessors can decrease readability.

Availability

Available when the caret is on a property name or get/set statement inside the property declaration (both accessors should consist of a single statement).

Usage

1. Place the caret on a property name or get/set statement.

   Note

   The blinking cursor shows the caret’s position at which the Code Formatter is available.

   C#

   public int A {
       get│ {
           return a;
       }
       set {
           a = value;
       }
   }
   

2. Press the Ctrl + . or Ctrl + ~ shortcut to invoke the Code Actions menu.
3. Select Collapse Accessors from the menu.

After executing refactoring, the Code Formatter removes the line breaks and converts property accessors to a single-line form.

C#

public int A {
    get { return a; } 
    set { a = value; }
}
