Generate custom properties code i VS?

I hate writing repetitive code....

In my current project I need to write properties that looks the same in each class, but different from class to class.

My wish is to generate custom properties from private memeber variables. Lets say I have declared a Name variable like this.

private string Name;

In my first class I want to automagically generate a property like this:

private string m_name;
public string Name
{
get
{ return m_name; }
set
{
  m_name = v开发者_如何学Pythonalue;
  // some code....e.g.
  m_counter++;
}

And maybe I want another implementation in my second class, e.g.

private string m_name;
public string Name
{
get
{ return m_name; }
set
{
  // some code....e.g.
  if(MyValidationFramework.Validate("Name", value))
  {
    m_name = value;
  }
}

I know I can create my own snippets. Since I often change the property-implementation I'd like a way to generate the properties from a template, then change the template and generate properties again. Can this be done?

Thanks!

This is not direct answer to you question. However, with the example you show, why not to have a base class and inherit from it, like this:

public abstract class BaseClass
{
    private string m_name;

    public string Name
    {
        get { return m_name; }
        set
        {
            if (BeforeNameSet(value))
                m_name = value;
        }
    }

    public virtual bool BeforeNameSet(string name)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

public abstract class ChildClass : BaseClass
{
    public override bool BeforeNameSet(string name)
    {
        // do the part that is different
        return false;
    }
}

[Edit]

I see you that snippets are not an option for you.
You could create an item template, (How to: Manually Create Item Templates), but in the end this is even more effort as you want to be able to dynamically update those. Item template is a zip file, that you would need to change content for.

Seems like copy/paste is your best option then.
