As you all probably know, ReSharper is probably the best thing that ever happened to VS.NET, it makes development and especially re-factoring a joy.. Its to Visual Studio / Coding what LLBLGEN is to OR Mapping in .NET

Anyway, I'm going to create a set of templates for ReSharper that should make working with LLBL even easier/better! Does anyone have any that they might have already - we could compile a uber-template set for LLBLGen Development in ReSharper...

I use some simple LLBLGen-specific ReSharper templates, but nothing particularly fancy.

I have templates for: - Creating a Using block with a Data Access Adapter - Creating an Entity Collection - Creating a Prefetch path - Creating a sort expression - Creating a RelationPredicateBucket

Hi Jez,

Is it possible to share this template?

Regards,

kakss

I agree!

It would be good if you could post them, and we can add to them maybe in this thread?

Here they are:

Surroung with Data Access Adapter:

using(DataAccessAdapter adapter = new DataAccessAdapter())
{
    $SELECTION$
}

Create Data Access Adapter (shortcut: adapterblock)

using(DataAccessAdapter adapter = new DataAccessAdapter())
{
    END$
}

Create an Entity Collection (shortcut: coll)

EntityCollection<$TYPE$> collection = new EntityCollection<$TYPE$>(new $TYPE$Factory());

Create a Prefetch Path (shortcut: ppath)

PrefetchPath2 prefetcher = new PrefetchPath2(EntityType.$TYPE$);

Create a RelationPredicateBucket (shortcut: rel)

RelationPredicateBucket bucket = new RelationPredicateBucket(
    $END$
);

Create a SortExpression (shortcut: sort)

SortExpression sorter = new SortExpression(
    $END$
);

I can also post them as ReSharper template XML files if that would be of use.

Thanks Jez. I do appreciate it.

It would be good if you can advice how to information for Resharper?

Regards,

kakss

What type of information are you looking for?

Hi Jez

Looking for as ReSharper template XML files.

Thanks kakss

Hi Jez

Here are the templates in the Resharper XML file format:

Excellent, I'll combine those with mine and post an update soon

Out of interest what templates do you use?

Hi all,

How to use above Resharper template in VS2005? What do I need to do?

Thanks kakss

With ReSharper installed go to:

ReSharper -> Options -> Live Templates

Then click the "mount file storage" button and point it to the XML file with the templates in.

Hi Jez,

When I try to import into Resharper it says:

Error Opening File

File format is invalid. Please make sure it is a valid templates file (created with Export Templates).

OK

Could you please ZIP the xml file and attach here.

Thanks a lot. Regards, kakss

Whoops, I had some extra stuff in there from another template that should have been deleted.

I can't seem to see a way to attach a file, but this is the XML for the fixed template.
