You could type "prop" and then press tab, that will generate the following.
public TYPE Type { get; set; }
Then you change "TYPE" and "Type"
public string myString {get; set;}
You can also get the full property typing "propfull" and then tab, that would generate the field and the full property.
private int myVar;
public int MyProperty
{
get { return myVar;}
set { myVar = value;}
}
