Code generator tool to create property and support fields

Question

I work in VS2008 and C #, and I am looking for a (free) code generator to generate a property using getter and setter, as well as a backup private field to work with. The thingy pattern in VS does not make a box for this. Just looking for something a little better.

I once saw a website where you could create this code, and then paste it and copy from the web page into your code.

You can create your own fragments to do anything. Here is one that I used in VS2005 to create properties using support fields:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

                    <ToolTip>private field name</ToolTip>
                </Literal>
                <Literal>
                    <ID>name</ID>
                    <Default>Name</Default>
                    <ToolTip>property name</ToolTip>
                </Literal>
            </Declarations>
            <Code Language="csharp">
                    <![CDATA[$type$ $pname$;

            public $type$ $name$
            {
                get { return this.$pname$; }
                set { this.$pname$ = value; }
            }$end$]]>
            </Code>
        </Snippet>
    </CodeSnippet>
</CodeSnippets>

Save this in a file with a name whatever.snippetin this place:

"C:\Documents and Settings\<YOU>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets"
