Boiler plate woes.

Recently, I've been finding it quite tedious having to repeat certain code patterns that would qualify as boiler plate code, the most annoying of which is defining events. For events I have to make an EventArgs based object, an event declaration and an OnEvent type protected overridable method to raise the event. I tend to write objects with a lot of events and this can seriously become annoying.

I've found CodeRush Express can reduce the writing of certain types of boiler plate code like defining properties. You can define a field and have CodeRush create a public property that's backed by that field. I'm looking for suggestions, software, techniques, just anything that can help reduce my need to actually write boiler plate code.
