Shortcut to generate field from property in Visual studio

Question

Is there any shortcut in VS to define a field from corresponding property?

Answer 1

if you mean to generate a backing store for an auto generated property:

 public string MyProperty { get; set; }

To:

 public string _myProperty;
 public string MyProperty { 
      get { return _myProperty; } 
      set { _myProperty = value; } 
 }

Then there is no shortcut that does that in Visual Studio. Refactoring tools like Resharper and CodeRush offer this feature.

• In DevExpress CodeRush Refactor it's under ctrl+`, Convert to Property with Backing Store.
• In Resharper it's under alt+enter, To Property with Backing Field.

In Visual Studio, there is the "Encapsulate field" refactoring that works the other way around ctrl+r,e.

 public string _myProperty;

To:

 public string _myProperty;
 public string MyProperty { 
      get { return _myProperty; } 
      set { _myProperty = value; } 
 }
