Accessing Encapsulate Field
The Encapsulate Field operation enables you to quickly generate properties from a given field. Properties, of course, enable you to protect the field from direct access and to know when the given field is being modified or accessed. To encapsulate a field, you position your cursor over the field and select the Encapsulate Field option from the Refactor menu. You can also do use the context menu (right-click) or the Class Designer.
Tip
To invoke the Encapsulate Field operation from the keyboard, first position your cursor on the field that you want to encapsulate. Next, play the keyboard chord Ctrl+R, Ctrl+F.
