Refactoring support in this product would be great! This is definitely a must-have tool and if AXTools and I strongly believe there is a market for refactoring support before VS.NET Whidbey comes out (and even after, if the feature set offers more).

# re: [Review] CodeSmart.Net

I have been playing around with this tool since you posted about it. It is pretty dang nice I have to say.

I was wondering if anyone had accomplished the following yet...

I would like to select 1 or more private member variables, and have it generate the property statement for this member variable. I haven't quite been able to figure that one out yet. Overall it is a great tool though.

Jeff - that's refactoring and no it does not support it (which is what I was bitching about in the post...)

"Why oh why should I implement such a complex XML file when I can do the same thing in less than 30 seconds by creating a new auto-text entry in CodeSmart?"

If I've read everything correctly, the reason for the XML file in Whidbey is tab support through the fields that you declare.

For example, with CodeSmart.NET, you need to go through and click around or arrow through to modify stuff.

With expansion, you just hit TAB and it takes you to the next field that you need to complete.

Matt: interesting. And this *feature* should be directly related to making me have to write a complex file because..? What's wrong with having tab-ability with expansion blocks that are *easily* defined? I'm sure they can figure that out somehow. The IntelliJ IDEA guys do it and it's a breeze.

Roy: I agree that this could be substantially easier... ;)
