Create With Statement (VB)

• Apr 01, 2018

Creates a With statement for the specified object within the selection.

Purpose

By introducing a With keyword, you can make embedded code more compact and more readable.

Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

• when the selection is on a code block that has references to properties of the same complex type.

Note

This refactoring is available only in Visual Basic.

Example

VB.NET

Public Sub TestMethod()
    Dim objVar = New TestClass
    objVar.Prop1 = 10
    objVar.Prop2 = 20
    objVar.Prop3 = 30
End Function

Result:

VB.NET

Public Sub TestMethod()
    Dim objVar = New TestClass
    With objVar
        .Prop1 = 10
        .Prop2 = 20
        .Prop3 = 30
    End With
End Function
