Collapse Accessors

Aug 03, 2020

Purpose

Collapses accessors’ code into a single line to make code more compact. However, single-line accessors can decrease readability.

Availability

Available when the caret is on a property name or get / set statement inside the property declaration (both accessors should consist of a single statement).

Usage

Place the caret on a property name or get / set statement.
Press the Ctrl + . or Ctrl + ~ shortcut to invoke the Code Actions menu.
Select Collapse Accessors from the menu.

After executing refactoring, the Code Formatter removes the line breaks and converts property accessors to a single-line form.

csharp

public int A {
    get { return a; } 
    set { a = value; }
}
