Visual Studio Shortcu/Syntax for fast property assignment

Say Suppose you have a class

public class Person

{

public int PesronId{get;set;}

public string FirstName{get;set;}

public string LastName{get;set;}

public string Gender{get;set;}

}

Now We create an object p1

Person p1 = new Person();

Next w开发者_C百科e have values from textboxes to be assigned to p1 eg.

p1.PersonId = textbox1.text;

p1.FirstName = textbox2.text; 

p1.LastName = textbox3.text;

Is there a more efficient way of doing this in Visual Studio 2010, by which I will get something like this

p1.PersonId =

p1.FirstName = 

p1.LastName = 

so that I dont have to manually type the properties for p1.

Or is then an alternate syntax that I can use.

There's simpler syntax for the code:

Person p1 = new Person
{
    PersonId = textbox1.Text,
    FirstName = textbox2.Text,
    LastName = textbox3.Text
};

This is object initializer syntax, introduced in C# 3.

I think I'd misread the question though - it sounds like you're just interested in cutting down the typing required. There may be something which will do that, but personally I find IntelliSense is fine on its own. The readability of the code afterwards is much more important than the time spent typing, IMO.

You might also want to add a constructor to Person to take all the relevant property values - that would simplify things too, and with C# 4's named argument support, you can retain readability.

You can use the new initialization functionality in C#:

Person p1 = new Person()
{
     PersonId = textbox1.text,
     FirstName = textbox2.text,
     LastName = textbox3.text
};
