In addition to the refactorings that work with the concatenated strings and the String.Format call, there is another useful refactoring called Use StringBuilder. This refactoring replaces the string concatenation operations with corresponding methods of the StringBuilder class.
Refactor! Pro provides several refactorings to create and organize the .NET String.Format call. The String.Format call is a static method that receives a string that specifies where the following arguments should be inserted, and how they should be formatted. You can specify the display options for each argument individually using the String.Format call.
The Selection DXCore service provides methods for manipulating the selected text in the code editor.
The Shortcuts options page is an important and one of the most often used options pages. It allows you to create, modify and remove shortcut bindings for all IDE Tools products (CodeRush, DXCore, Refactor!). The page is located at the IDE | Shortcuts path in the CodeRush Options Dialog. Here is what it looks like:
Every programming language has its own language specification. There are numerous rules for each language that vary between programming languages. DXCore supports several programming languages and provides APIs to determine specific rules for them. These APIs are available primarly through the DXCore Language service. Let’s review the most important methods and properties of this service, comparing the CSharp (C#) and Visual Basic (VB) programming languages.
Once you have a reference to an element and would like to get its declaration, simply call the GetDeclaration() method of a reference of the Expression type (all references have the Expression base type).
Once you obtained an instance of a class, structure or an interface, for example, by using the DXCore SourceModel service:
CodeRush.Source.ActiveClass CodeRush.Source.ActiveClassInterfaceOrStruct CodeRush.Source.ActiveClassInterfaceStructOrModule CodeRush.Source.ActiveStruct CodeRush.Source.ActiveInterface
and would like to analyze its hierarchy by retrieving its base and/or derived types, you can use the following APIs:
CodeRush has the Highlighting All References feature, based on the Tab to Next Reference feature, with the difference that you do not actually navigate between references. The feature simply highlights the current identifier and all its references. The default shortcut to apply the reference highlighting is Ctrl+Alt+U. Once performed on an identifier, you will see the identifier and its references highlighted in pink:
