Declare multiple public variables with same property

public String name
{
    get;
    set;
}

public String email
{
    get;
    set;
}

public String address
{
    get;
    set;
}

Is there an easier way to declare multiple variables with same property under one accessibility like this?

Something like

public String name, email, address
{
    get;
    set;
}

If you don't care for OOP and just want a bunch of strings collected in one variable you can do this with a simple Tuple in your case. It would look like this.

var bunchOfStrings = new Tuple<String,String,String>(String.Empty,String.Empty,String.Empty);
Console.Writeline("{0},{1},{2}",bunchOfStrings.Item1
                               ,bunchOfStrings.Item2
                               ,bunchOfStrings.Item3);

But keep in mind, you hide information with this approach. The items are just numbered and you loose any connection to the semantic of the items.

You could package them together in a separate class and then use that as a property:

class Info
{
    public String name { get; set; }       
    public String email { get; set; }      
    public String address { get; set; }
}

class Person
{
    public Info info { get; set; }
}

Obviously it's not what you're after in terms of inlining, but it does present a cleaner option if Info is something you'd use in more than one place. If you're not going to use that class anywhere else, then it's pointless.

Note, as an aside, that I'm using your conventions for capitalization of properties, but it's a "convention" to use Pascal case.
