VSDropAssist generates custom code from dropped class members
Drag one or more objects from the Solution Explorer and drop onto a code window.
Drop whilst holding down the following buttons to generate different text:
(use ctrl or shift-click to select multiple items in the solution explorer)
| Key | Pasted Value |
|---|---|
| ALT | %v%.%m%.Value = ;\n |
| SHIFT | Columns.Add(%v%.%m%);\n |
| none | %v%.%m%,\n |
(use ctrl or shift-click to select multiple items in the solution explorer)
| Key | Pasted Value |
|---|---|
| none | %f%\n |
| shift | If dropping into a method: var %v% = new %f%();\n |
| shift | if dropping outside of a method: public readonly %f% %v% = new %f%();\n |
- %v% = Type name
- %m% = Method/member name
After dropping, the %v% is selected and you can immediately type a new name (press ESC to cancel the selection)
