You could use a regexp...

(defun name-me ()
  (interactive)
  (when mark-active
    (replace-regexp "myvar_\\(.*\\) *" "m_\\1.SetBounds(0, 0, m_\\1.Width, 
m_\\1.Height)\nm_\\1.Show()\nSplitContainer.Panel2.Controls.Add(m_\\1)\n" nil 
(region-beginning) (region-end))
    ))

Paste your var declarations..

myvar_Asometext
myvar_B1foo

Select them in a region... and run M-x name-me

You could probably use templates/skeletons for this as well.
