Wow, what a terrific feature! You can record a macro[1] (ctrl-shift-r)
that does that in a few seconds. Below is a macro that when played
(ctrl-shift-p) on:

string property[ctrl-shift-p]

will replace it with

private string property_;
public string Property
{
    get
    {
        return property_;
    }
    set
    {
        property_ = value;
    }
}
