Many times due to project pressure and lazy attitude you violate encapsulation and
create public variables for classes as shown below. Even though your inner heart
knows that the best practice is to create set and get property function but your
lazy attitude overrules it.
public class Supplier
{
public string supplierCode;
}
So you can keep your lazy attitude and also implement encapsulation by using encapsulate
field from the refactor menu. So select your public variable, right click, go
to refactor menu and click on encapsulate field as shown in the below figure.
It then pops up dialog boxes for property names and also helps your preview the code
changes. Once you apply it you should get the below line of code with public
properties and private encapsulated fields.
public class Supplier
{
private string supplierCode;
public string SupplierCode
{
get { return supplierCode; }
set { supplierCode = value; }
}
}
