Automatically Create Constructor Using Fields/Properties in Visual Studio (like Eclipse does)

Question

Is there any way to automatically create the constructor for a class based on the properties in the class like Eclipse does? (Without getting ReSharper). I'm using Visual Studio 2008 (C#).

If this is a duplicate, please link (I tried searching).

Answer 1

I answered the question here :

this is my answer :

In visual studio 2015 Update3, I have this feature.

just by Highlighting properties and then press ctrl + . and then Press Generate Constructor.

UPDATE For example, if you've highlighted 2 properties it will suggest you create a contractor with 2 parameters and if you've selected 3 it will suggest with 3 parameters and so on.

also works with VS2017.

Answer 2

you can use object initializer instead of having created a constructor, if you're using C# 3.0.

Referring code that I found in some example.

   class Program
   {
      public class Student
      {
         public string firstName;
         public string lastName;
      }
      public class ScienceClass
      {
         public Student Student1, Student2, Student3;
      }
      static void Main(string[] args)
      {
         var student1 = new Student{firstName = "Bruce",
                                    lastName  = "Willis"};
         var student2 = new Student{firstName = "George",
                                    lastName  = "Clooney"};
         var student3 = new Student{firstName = "James",
                                    lastName  = "Cameron"};
         var sClass = new ScienceClass{Student1 = student1,
                                       Student2 = student2,
                                       Student3 = student3};
      }
   }
