resharper

I want to auto gen some DTOs from some of my existing objects, I was wondering if there already exist a Resharper, DevExpress or VSX open source to use, I need a tool to look into my code and let me choose which properties I want to include in my DTO and then generate a class based on that... This is kind of a hack but you could use Visual Studio/Resharper to Extract an interface from the class, then create a DTO class and derive from the interface, then use Visual Studio to auto implement the interface members (then, optionally remove the interface). Another opinion would be to use some

I've got a fairly small C# solution with about 5 projects in it. I am using Visual Studio 2012 with Update 4, and Resharper 8.1 (build 8.1.23.546). It's on an I7 with an SSD and 16GB RAM, with oodles of disk space. Performance on this machine is fantastic for everything else. I have R# set to be my unit test runner, and I've noticed that as soon as I run any unit tests (one or many, pass or fail, makes no difference), the Visual Studio text editor becomes almost unusable. Typing into the editor window suffers such extreme lag (up to 1 second between keystrokes) that it completely breaks down

My question is related to this one concerning the use of IEnumerable<T> vs IReadOnlyCollection<T> . I too have always used IEnumerable<T> to expose collections as both return types and parameters because it benefits from being both immutable and lazily executed. However, I am becoming increasingly concerned about the proliferation of places in my code where I must enumerate a parameter to avoid the possible multiple enumeration warning that ReSharper gives. I understand why ReSharper suggests this, and I agree with the code it suggests (below) in order to ensure encapsulation (i.e., no

I have some tests that rely on some files I have marked as "Content" and to "Always Copy". I'm using the DeploymentItem attribute to make sure they get copied to the output directory when running mstest outside of VS. However when using the Resharper test runner inside VS these files never make it to the directory that it is executing from. Anyone know how to fix this? Disabling the Unit Testing > Shadow-copy assemblies being tested Resharper option fixed this problem for me. We solved this problem by marking the test files as embedded resources and then used a utility method to read the

I know this is a subjective question, but I'm always curious about best-practices in coding style. ReSharper 4.5 is giving me a warning for the keyword "base" before base method calls in implementation classes, i.e., base.DoCommonBaseBehaviorThing(); While I appreciate the "less is better" mentality, I also have spent a lot of time debugging/maintaining highly-chained applications, and feel like it might help to know that a member call is to a base object just by looking at it. It's simple enough to change ReSharper's rules, of course, but what do y'all think? Should "base" be used when

I am inside the IDE and I can run all the unit tests in a file but is there any way to run all test in a project or solution at once? Right click on the project or solution in the VS solution-explorer and choose 'Run Unit Tests' Or go to the Resharper menu, choose Unit-Testing and choose one of the options from there. If you learn executing menu commands with Alt-Letters, you can execute many commands fast even if they don't have direct shortcuts. Especially, if shortcuts are two-key combos. As for run ning all tests in solution the command is Alt- RUN , i.e. Alt-R for ReSharper menu, U for
