Visual Studio Find and Replace to convert auto property to set an "_isDirty" flag

ExamplePostConverted.cs

Guid _UserID = Guid.Empty; 
		public Guid UserID { get { return _UserID;} set { _isDirty = true; _UserID = value;  } }
        string _EmailAddress = null; 
		public string EmailAddress { get { return _EmailAddress;} set { _isDirty = true; _EmailAddress = value;  } }
        string _Name = null; 
		public string Name { get { return _Name;} set { _isDirty = true; _Name = value;  } }
        int _TimesFound = 0; 
		public int TimesFound { get { return _TimesFound;} set { _isDirty = true; _TimesFound = value;  } }

ExamplePreConverted.cs

        public Guid UserID { get; set; }
        public string EmailAddress { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public int TimesFound { get; set; }

something.regex

To use this add a property to you class like "public bool _isDirty { get; set; }". Then in Visual Studio just use the find and replace tool and enable Regex. 


public ([\w?\]\[]+) ([a-zA-Z_]+) { get; set; }


$1 _$2 = null; \r\n\t\tpublic $1 $2 { get { return _$2;} set { _isDirty = true; _$2 = value;  } }
