DevExpress CodeRush Tips&Tricks

Cause:

This code issue may improve the efficiency of the code. It is shown if the initialization can be moved to an ‘else’ block of the following conditional statement. If the condition of the conditional statement is met, than the first initialization is unnecessary. This issue is shown as a suggestion (hint).

Sample:

The method returns the current date and time on the computer. The ‘isUTC’ parameter specifies whether this method should return date and time, expressed as the local time (if false) or as the Coordinated Universal Time (if true). If we pass ‘true’ to this method the resulting var is initialized twice, which is inefficient.

How to fix:

Apply the “Initialize Conditionally” refactoring:

Notice that the resulting var is no longer reinitialized (if we pass ‘true’ to this method). In more complicated cases with time-consuming initialization this may improve the overall code performance.
