I have downloaded VS Orcas March CTP and I am playing with its features now.
I found one very cool feature called Auto-Implemented Properties. This will allow you to create private field and public property accessor with single C# 3.0 line like this:
public string FullName { get; set; }
instead like in c# 2.0:
private string fullName;
public string FullName
{
get { return fullName; }
set { fullName = value; }
}
And as with the others cool language sugars the compiler will do the rest :). Actually it doesn't look that good but still it works. For the single line property above I got the following code in Reflector:
public string FullName
{
[CompilerGenerated]
get
{
return this.<>k__AutomaticallyGeneratedPropertyField0;
}
[CompilerGenerated]
set
{
this.<>k__AutomaticallyGeneratedPropertyField0 = value;
}
}
Nice huh?
Of course this won't work if you have complex getters and setters but still will speed up code writing and leave more time for thinking :)
