Make a shortcut for Console.WriteLine()

Question

I have to type Console.WriteLine() many times in my code. Is it possible to create a shortcut for Console.WriteLine so that I can use it like...

CW=Console.Wr         


        

Answer 1

You could declare a static method to wrap the call:

static class C
{
    static void W(string s)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(s);
    }
}

then:

C.W("Print Something");

I would be inclined to use the "inline method" refactoring before checking in any code that calls this method. As Jon Skeet notes, it's less confusing simply to use Console.WriteLine directly.
