For those of you who use NHibernate you may find this convenient, if you don't already have your own.  Below is a C# code snippet for creating a public virtual property (code and file are both there).  Just put it in your <Visual Studio 2005/2008>\Code Snippets\Visual C#\My Code Snippets folder and you're off and running.  No restart required.
