After this question, I decided to use T4, as @BillWoodruff told me, but I found to myself a limitation: I don't know how to overwrite a property implementation at the same generated class by Visual Studio - Class Diagram Designer, which allows me to use a custom tool template. I mean, how to read the class diagram, whatever it does, then I'll overwrite the generated implementation. Thanks in advance.
This is the generated property implemetation:

C#

public int PropertyName
{
	get
	{
		throw new System.NotImplementedException();
	}
	set
	{
	}
}

This is the desired generated-code:

C#

public int PropertyName
{
	get
	{
		return this.PrivateGetter<int>("PropertyName");
	}
	set
	{
		this.PrivateSetter<int>("PropertyName",value);
	}
}

PD:(Excuse my english, I'm cuban)

Hi, Pedro, I wish I had gone deep enough into T4 that I could help you here; if you do not get a useful reply here in a few days, I suggest you post this on StackOverFlow.

You could explore the System.Dynamic namespace for late-binding resources ... if that is what you are trying to achieve here.

Are you aware of the CallerMemberName feature of C# 5.0, .NET 4.5, 4.6, which can eliminate the need for you to use hard-coded strings to transmit the name of a Property ? [^]

C#

// 'CallerMemberName use example:

// required: .NET >= 4.5
using System.Runtime.CompilerServices;

public bool SomeFunc(int oldvalue, int newvalue, [CallerMemberName] string pname = null)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Current Value: {0} New Value: {1} FromProperty: {2}", oldvalue, newvalue, pname);

    return oldvalue != newvalue;
}

private int _myintprop;

public int MyIntProp
{
    set { if (SomeFunc(_myintprop, value)) _myintprop = value; }

    get { return _myintprop; }

}
