Subject: good basic design?

I am trying to figure out if the way i wrote my code is recommended or not.

My class had a Get/Set/Clear function for each of the class' properties. Well, the code got out of hand when the class had 22 properties. I tried to simplify the code by just creating combine all the Get/Set/Clear funtions into 3 functions and using the property's name as a function parameter. These 3 function now had a big switch statement for each property but is much easier to maintain.

I eventually realized that by adding new properties or adding new code reference the accessor/modifier functions to my class would produce a run time error instead of a compile error. I think that this sacrifice is justified.

What do you think?
