Combine Conditionals

• Jun 07, 2019

Combines two or more neighboring conditionals with identical bodies into a single conditional statement, where each conditional expression is logically OR’d.

Purpose

This refactoring helps you to eliminate code duplication.

Availability

Available from the context menus or via shortcuts:

• when the caret is on an if keyword, provided that the current method has another if statement with the same body.

Example

C#

if (productAExists)
    return GetOrders();
│if (productBExists)
    return GetOrders();

VB.NET

│If productAExists Then
    Return GetOrders()
End If

If productBExists Then
    Return GetOrders()
End If

Result:

C#

if (productAExists || productBExists)
    return GetOrders();

VB.NET

If productAExists OrElse productBExists Then
    Return GetOrders()
End If
