This is a VS macro that will take a private member declaration and turn it into a public property. It takes into account leading underscores as well as "new" keywords.

The VB 2005 code snippet editor was recently released.  Very handy:

Of all the features being talked about in VS2005, one that I have found the most useful is rarely talked about.  It is the new "Pane Switcher" (shown below.)  It works in much the same way that tools like TaskSwitchXP Pro do (Alt+Tab on steroids), but with Ctrl+Tab instead.  It definitely comes in handy when you have 20+ source files up at the same time (not that I ever do that!)
