Create Multi-variable Declaration

• Jun 07, 2019

Converts neighboring variable declarations of the same type into a single declaration. This refactoring is the opposite of Split Multi-variable Declaration.

Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

• when two or more consecutive variable declarations are selected. Declared variables should have the same type.

Example

C#

private string TestMethod()
{│string a = "Hello";
    string b = "World";
    string c = "!";
    return String.Format("{0} {1} {2}", a, b, c);
}

VB.NET

Private Function TestMethod() As String│Dim a As String = "Hello"
    Dim b As String = "World"
    Dim c As String = "!"
    Return String.Format("{0} {1} {2}", a, b, c)
End Function

Result:

C#

private string TestMethod()
{│string a = "Hello", b = "World", c = "!";
    return String.Format("{0} {1} {2}", a, b, c);
}

VB.NET

Private Function TestMethod() As String│Dim a As String = "Hello", b As String = "World", c As String = "!"
    Return String.Format("{0} {1}{2}", a, b, c)
End Function
