Declare Method
In This Article
Generates a method for the selected method call with appropriate parameters. Activates Text Fields for the method parameters and drops a marker onto the initial method call.
#Purpose
This refactoring is especially useful for those practicing Test-Driven Development. It allows you to first write a code fragment and then easily create declarations for methods referenced in it.
#Availability
Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:
- when the caret is on a statement calling an undeclared method. The caret should be on the method name.
#Example
class TestClass
{
private void TestMethod()
{
int a = 15;
string str = "Test";│Mymethod(a, str);
}
}
Class TestClass
Private Sub TestMethod()
Dim a As Integer = 15
Dim str As String = "Test"│MyMethod(a, str)
End Sub
End Class
Result
class TestClass
{
private void Mymethod(int │a, string str)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}
private void TestMethod()
{
int a = 15;
string str = "Test";
Mymethod(a, str);
}
}
Class TestClass
Private Sub MyMethod(ByVal │a As Integer, ByVal str As String)
Throw New NotImplementedException()
End Sub
Private Sub TestMethod()
Dim a As Integer = 15
Dim str As String = "Test"
MyMethod(a, str)
End Sub
End Class
