Consider the following code which specifies three properties in a class:



The work required for getting and setting each property is identical, and thus extracted into two common sub functions, GetProperty and SetProperty.

However, despite this, the code is still massively repetitive, which makes me feel like writing it is a colossal waste of time. How can I get rid of it? I guess I have to write a function which generates the class script and then fixes it, is that the only way?

If you know the names of all the properties at the time of designing the class you can simply provide a list of names:

      x.Name

will contain the name of the property that is accessed.

Gil, thanks, that's great!

I had no idea you could do that!
