How to create aliases in C #

Question

How to create aliases in C #

Take this script

class CommandMessages { string IDS_SPEC1_COMPONENT1_MODULE1_STRING1; } 

say I create an object of this class

 CommandMessages objCommandMessage = new CommandMessages(); 

I need to write a long string

 objCommandMessage.IDS_SPEC1_COMPONENT1_MODULE1_STRING1 

every time I access a variable, it’s a pain since I use this variable as a key for a dictionary.

 Dict[objCommandMessage.IDS_SPEC1_COMPONENT1_MODULE1_STRING1] 

so I would have to do something like this

 Dict[str1] 

where str1 is an alias for objCommandMessage.IDS_SPEC1_COMPONENT1_MODULE1_STRING1, How do I do this?

Answer 1

Create another, shorter property that references the original?

 class CommandMessages { string IDS_SPEC1_COMPONENT1_MODULE1_STRING1; public string Str1 { get { return this.IDS_SPEC1_COMPONENT1_MODULE1_STRING1; } } } 

Then you can use the following anywhere:

 Dict[objCommandMessage.Str1] 

Answer 2

 string str1 = objCommandMessage.IDS_SPEC1_COMPONENT1_MODULE1_STRING1; 

Answer 3

 public string str1 { get { return objCommandMessage.IDS_SPEC1_COMPONENT1_MODULE1_STRING1; } }
