So I learned something TOTALLY COOL from a coworker today! I'm always excited about learning something new when it comes to coding.
I've frequently been in the situation where I've wanted to create a Switch statement while using enums
.
So to start everything off create a generic class with an enum like this:
public class GenericClass {
public enum ManyEnums {
Foo, Bar, Huuuurk, Blah, FourtyTwo
}
public void DoSomething(ManyEnums i) {
}
}
Inside of DoSomething
type switch
and then press tab
. Something cool like this should automatically be generated:
While switch_on
is highlighted, type i
then press the down arrow. This should appear:
Blew my MIND! So much I skipped my lunch to do this blog post before I left work.
I was aware that a similar snippet existed in VB for property creation. It's pretty awesome getting to learn something new with something you've been using for a really long time!
If you are aware of any other useful snippets that are built into VisualStudio, shoot them my way so I can share them!
