Visual Studio Common tips: Code snippets + shortcut keys + plugins = efficiency

With Visual Studio for more than 5 years, it's time to make a memo for yourself. Each time into a new group for new computers, install their familiar environment and have to reconfigure, do not do some memo old will forget something. The tool is used well and the efficiency is doubled naturally.

1, Code snippet

In Visual Studio, you can add your own favorite snippets of code. Visual Studio also comes with a lot of default code snippets, such as tryf,for and so on. What I often need is a copy of the file's header and a code comment. Adding a method is simple.

Found it

C:\Program Files (x86) \microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\common7\ide\itemtemplates\csharp\code\2052\class

C:\Program Files (x86) \microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\common7\ide\itemtemplatescache\csharp\code\2052\ The Class.cs file under Class

Code after adding a comment

// ************************************************ ***********************

// Description:

// ************************************************ ***********************
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
$ if $ ($ targetframeworkversion $> = 3.5) using System.Linq;
$ endif $ using System.Text;
$ if $ ($ targetframeworkversion $> = 4.5) using System.Threading.Tasks;
$ endif $
namespace $ rootnamespace $
{
    class $ safeitemrootname $
    {
    }
}
Note: Copy this file to another place for modification, and then use it to replace the original one. Remember to replace both, otherwise it will not take effect.

After adding a class to the project, the following annotations are automatically generated:

// ************************************************ ***********************
// FileName: Class3
// Description:
// Project:
// Author: NewBLife
// Created: 2016/3/20 22:32:58
// Copyright (c) 2016 NewBLife, All rights reserved.
// ************************************************ ***********************
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace MvvmDemo.Common
{
    class Class3
    {
    }
}
 

Annotation code segment adding method:

Create a new xml file, add the following code, and save it as a snippet file. The shortcut key is: myregion.

<? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "utf-8"?>
<CodeSnippets xmlns = "http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet">
  <CodeSnippet Format = "1.0.0">

Import code snippet

Enter myregion in the file, the following prompt appears

Press Tab twice to insert the following code:

public class Class1
{
    #region ======= member =========
    #endregion

    #region ======= attributes =========
    #endregion

    #region ======= Method =========
    #endregion

    #region ======= constructor =====
    public Class1 ()

    }
    #endregion

}

3. Plugins

Productivity Power tools2015 is recommended here. The dotted line of the code block indicates that it supports many functions such as saving automatic format and using finishing.

Easy to identify the method of selecting files

That's basically it. To develop fast, the tools must be skilled.
