Convert to Constant

Converts the string variable or field under the cursor to a constant.

#Purpose

Convert to Constant is great when you have a string variable or a field whose value never changes. Using constants makes your code safer.

#Availability

Available from the context menu or via shortcuts:

  • when the cursor is on a string variable or field declaration with initialization, provided that its value is never changed.

#Example

string _MyString = "MyString";
Private _MyString As String = "MyString"

Result:

const string _MyString = "MyString";
Private Const _MyString As String = "MyString"
