Programming languages such as C# and Visual Basic support the creation of XML Documentation Comments, allowing developers to quickly annotate and document their source code to keep the documentation in a standard format and to gain benefit from the information as you code. Documentation is important to ensure that developers can quickly learn and use the source code.
When working with arrays and lists enumerating all of its items we usually create a for loop statement as follows:
You might have already learned that CodeRush suggests several code issues that highlight the switch (Select in VB) statement with hints and warnings when it has suspicious code. For example, when the switch statement handles only a subset of the possible enumeration values it is checking for, this may be a sign of incomplete code.
Until recently, there were no code fixes of those code issues. Now, they appear:
There are two actions added to repeat the last operations:
The Smart Constructor CodeRush feature allows you to add constructors to the current class or structure, and pass type members, like fields and properties for initialization through its parameters. To choose fields and properties that will be passed to a new constructor, the following dialog is used:
The Create Descendant and Create Descendant (with virtual overrides) CodeRush code providers are now available not only on the type declaration but on any reference to a type inside source code, for example:
It allows to create derived classes without navigating to the declaration of the ancestor class.
—– Products: CodeRush Pro Versions: 12.1 and up VS IDEs: 2008 and up Updated: Mar/24/2012 ID: U005Objects can be converted from one type to another, assuming that the types are compatible. Often this is achieved using implicit conversion or explicitly with the cast operator. To perform an explicit casting, there are two approaches used:
