Comment Widgets for Selection
Visual Smarter provides many selection widgets, as shown before. We are going to introduce the comment widgets here.
If there is some code as follows somewhere:
private void CommentTester()
{
int i;
string hello = "hello world.";
}
it's selected, and the Comment widget is called up, the code will become:
// private void CommentTester()
// {
// int i;
// string hello = "hello world.";
// }
If there is some code as follows somewhere:
private void CommentTester()
{
int i;
string hello = "hello world.";
}
// private void CommentTester()
// {
// int i;
// string hello = "hello world.";
// }
If the UnComment widget is called up at this moment, the current code will be rolled back to the original.
If the Toggle Comment Type widget were clicked instead, the code would become:
/* private void CommentTester()
{
int i;
string hello = "hello world.";
}*/
If the Add Comment to Line End is run against the original code, each line will be appended some comment beginners.
private void CommentTester() //
{ //
int i; //
string hello = "hello world."; //
} //
Replicate Line Multiple Times & Add Line Number to Line Start Selection Widgets
Visual Smarter provides many selection widgets, as shown before. We are going to introduce the Replicate Line Multiple Times and the Add Line Number to Line Start widgets here.
If there is some code as follows somewhere:
List<int> intList = new List<int>();
intList.Add(1);
the last line is selected, and the Replicate Line Multiple Times widget is called up, a number is input such as 10, then the code will become like this:
List<int> intList = new List<int>();
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
If the ten adding lines are selected and the Add Line Number to Line Start widget is called, the line labels will be added accordingly:
List<int> intList = new List<int>();
Line_1: intList.Add(1);
Line_2: intList.Add(1);
Line_3: intList.Add(1);
Line_4: intList.Add(1);
Line_5: intList.Add(1);
Line_6: intList.Add(1);
Line_7: intList.Add(1);
Line_8: intList.Add(1);
Line_9: intList.Add(1);
Line_10: intList.Add(1);
If there is some code as follows somewhere:
List<int> intList = new List<int>();
intList.Add(1);
List<int> intList = new List<int>();
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
intList.Add(1);
If the ten adding lines are selected and the Add Line Number to Line Start widget is called, the line labels will be added accordingly:
List<int> intList = new List<int>();
Line_1: intList.Add(1);
Line_2: intList.Add(1);
Line_3: intList.Add(1);
Line_4: intList.Add(1);
Line_5: intList.Add(1);
Line_6: intList.Add(1);
Line_7: intList.Add(1);
Line_8: intList.Add(1);
Line_9: intList.Add(1);
Line_10: intList.Add(1);

Class Widget: Extract Method From Code Block
Its feature is pretty self-explanatory, extracting a method from some highlighted code block.
If something like the following is written somewhere,
int busylevel; DayOfWeek day = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek; switch (day) { case DayOfWeek.Sunday: busylevel = 1; break; case DayOfWeek.Monday: busylevel = 5; break; case DayOfWeek.Tuesday: busylevel = 5; break; case DayOfWeek.Wednesday: busylevel = 4; break; case DayOfWeek.Thursday: busylevel = 4; break; case DayOfWeek.Friday: busylevel = 3; break; case DayOfWeek.Saturday: busylevel = 2; break; default: busylevel = -1; break; }
the code block selected, and the Extract Method From Code Block command is called up with a method name being given, the following code will be created into the same type where the above code block is:
public void GetBusyLevel() { int busylevel; DayOfWeek day = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek; switch (day) { case DayOfWeek.Sunday: busylevel = 1; break; case DayOfWeek.Monday: busylevel = 5; break; case DayOfWeek.Tuesday: busylevel = 5; break; case DayOfWeek.Wednesday: busylevel = 4; break; case DayOfWeek.Thursday: busylevel = 4; break; case DayOfWeek.Friday: busylevel = 3; break; case DayOfWeek.Saturday: busylevel = 2; break; default: busylevel = -1; break; } }
The code compiles right away. Of course, the new method seems better to be tweaked a bit such that its return type is int and the busylevel local var is returned. That needs to be done manually at present. In the future, the widget may become intelligent enough to do so automatically. That is our goal.
If something like the following is written somewhere,
int busylevel; DayOfWeek day = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek; switch (day) { case DayOfWeek.Sunday: busylevel = 1; break; case DayOfWeek.Monday: busylevel = 5; break; case DayOfWeek.Tuesday: busylevel = 5; break; case DayOfWeek.Wednesday: busylevel = 4; break; case DayOfWeek.Thursday: busylevel = 4; break; case DayOfWeek.Friday: busylevel = 3; break; case DayOfWeek.Saturday: busylevel = 2; break; default: busylevel = -1; break; }
the code block selected, and the Extract Method From Code Block command is called up with a method name being given, the following code will be created into the same type where the above code block is:

If something like the following is written anywhere in a class,
private string name;
public string GetName()
{
return name;
}
public void SetName(string value)
{
name = value;
}
the two methods are selected, and the Create Methods From Property command is called up, the following code will be created and maintained:
private string name;
public string Name
{
get
{
return name;
}
set
{
name = value;
}
}

Class Widget: Create Methods From Property
Its feature is pretty self-explanatory, creating method(s) from a property of concern.
If something like the following is written anywhere in a class,
private string name; public string Name { get { return name; } set { name = value; } }
the cursor is within the property body, and the Create Methods From Property command is called up, the following code will be created and maintained:
private string name;
public string GetName()
{
return name;
}
public void SetName(string value)
{
name = value;
}
The code compiles right away. Isn't it terrific?
Enjoy!

Class Widget: Create Class From Method
Its feature is pretty self-explanatory, creating a class from a method. The new class will be in the same project and within the same namespace, where the type of the method of concern is within. The new class name along with the file name can be specified.
If something like the following is written anywhere in a class,
public bool? IsHelthy(int age, double weight, string type)
{
switch (type)
{
case "cat":
return weight > age * 5;
case "dog":
return weight > age * 10;
default:
return null;
}
}
the cursor is inside the IsHelthy method, and the Create Class From Method command is called up, and a class/file name is provided properly, e.g. 'Pet', the following class will be created:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
namespace CS_Class
{
public class Pet
{
public bool? IsHelthy()
{
switch (type)
{
case "cat":
return weight > age * 5;
case "dog":
return weight > age * 10;
default:
return null;
}
}
private string type;
private double weight;
private int age;
}
}
The namespace of the new class is the same as the type of concern is. In addition, all necessary namespaces are automatically brought in. The code compiles right away. Isn't it terrific?
Enjoy!

Class Widget: Create Method from Caller
Its feature is pretty self-explanatory, creating a method into the same class from a highlighted caller. The caller is not a real caller at that moment, of course, since no method definition exists yet for the caller. That is exactly what the Create Method from Caller class widget is supposed to help.
If something like the following is written anywhere in a class,
int age = 35;
double salary = 1000000;
string name = "peter";
Class1 person = CreatePerson(age, salary, name);
the cursor is inside the CreatePerson caller, and the Create Method from Caller command is called up, the following method will be created:
public Class1 CreatePerson(int age, double salary, string name)
{
return default(Class1);
}
The code will be able to compile right away. Isn't it terrific?
Enjoy!
