The Reference Assembly code provider is a simple coding helper which allows you to add an assembly reference if one does not exist for the type reference under the editor caret. The code provider is connected to the CodeRush Code Issues feature, so the editor caret should be located in the ‘Undeclared element’ code issue, for instance:
The Convert to Integer code provider allows you to wrap an expression returning a non-integer value to Math.Ceiling, Math.Floor, or Math.Round. Consider the following code sample:
CodeRush has two code providers that allow you to convert unimplemented properties into a property with backing store field or into an auto-implemented property quickly:
The IDisposable Pattern is used to release and close unmanaged resources such as files, streams, and handles as well as references to managed objects that use unmanaged resources, held by an instance of the class. For classes that require a resource cleanup, we recommended following the IDisposable pattern, which provides a standard and unambiguous pattern. The pattern has been designed to ensure reliable, predictable cleanup, and to prevent temporary resource leaks.
The Add Initialization code provider inserts an initialization of the selected field or auto-implemented property to each constructor of the active type. The code provider is useful when you want to initialize those objects with a different default value:
The Add Else Statement code provider performs the operation its name implies – it generates the ‘else’ statement of the current conditional statement. The ‘else’ statement is required when you want to execute a piece of code if a condition is not met. In other words, the ‘else’ is useful when an alternative case is required on the ‘if’ statement.
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.
In addition to code issues specific for declaring types, CSharp and Visual Basic language specifications have a few restrictions on declaring constant or simple variable declarations. Having this issue in the code editor right in front of a developer allows him to fix the issue immediately without compiling the project.
