Code Issues – Redundant Constructor

January 23rd, 2011 Comments off

Cause:

This code issue shows a hint (suggestion) that a redundant constructor can be safely removed. Redundant constructor is a public, parameterless constructors without any code inside of its body. This constructor doesn’t call base type constructors and it is alone in the current class. The constructor is redundant because such constructors are automatically generated by the compiler. Removing the redundant constructors may improve code readability.

Sample:

How to fix:

  • Remove the redundant constructor by applying the corresponding Remove Redundant Constructor refactoring:

CodeRush Redundant Constructor Fix 1

  • Add another constructor to the class, so the original constructor is no longer redundant:

Code Issues – Field can be read-only

January 23rd, 2011 Comments off

Cause:

This code issue shows a hint (suggestion) on the fields which can be marked as read-only. When a field declaration includes a readonly modifier, assignments to the fields introduced by the declaration can only occur as part of the declaration or in a constructor (instance or static) in the same class. Read-only fields cannot be changed by other code or the code from team members, thus making it less likely to be messed up by someone who doesn’t understand the purpose of the code.

Sample:

How to fix:

The Make Read-only refactoring is a code fix for this issue:
