Refactor Encapsulate field repeatedly

Hi. I have an object with more the 100 fields.

I wonder if there is a method to automate the process of encapsulating those fields.

I'm just too lazy to do "Right-Click -> Refactor -> Encapsulate Field" for 100 times

if i select all the fields and do "Encapsulate" then only last selected field is encapsulated.

 

Any suggestions on this

 

Thanks.

    Hi,

    This is not supported in the shipped code of Class Designer. However, you can easily add this feature by creating a command yourself through an add-in. You can install the CD Power Toys add-in, create a command and insert the following code in your command handler.

    foreach (ClrField field in Selection.Filter<ClrField>()){

    field.Language.RefactorEncapsulateField(field);

    }

    Hope this helps.

    If you installed the powertoys, you should have a "Class Designer Command" project in your New Project dialog - create that project, code your command, build and deploy it as you would with a regular Visual Studio add-in.

    There's a short help doc coming with the PowerToys which contains some more info.

    Hope this helps

    This so didn't work.

    After getting the Power Toys add-in installed properly and building a simple project with the above code, I found that it doesn't work.

    I dropped a test class onto the diagram and added 3 fields to it. Then I selected the 3 fields and invoked the add-in. It did pop up the Encapsulate Field and Preview Reference Changes dialogs, but after it ran on the 3 fields, nothing changed.

    Is there something else to this

    NetBeans which is an open source IDE for Java and C++, when you select encapsulate field it pops up a dialog box with all available fields in the class that are "encapsulatable", where there are options to select all or some using checkboxes, that makes the whole process very easy. Why is it not done the same or similar way in Visual Studio

    oh. thanks for your reply.

    i've downloaded and installed those power toys and now i can see that Class Designer Enhancements in the Add-in Manager, but how do I create a command



  • Eran Alshech

    well i don't have a "Class designer command" in there. but i have a "Class designer add-in" instead. and when i create a new project and build it a get an error message

    "Error 1 The type or namespace name 'ModelingAddIns' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference ) E:\Documents and Settings\xxxxxx\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\MyEncapsulateField\MyEncapsulateField\Connect.cs 6 7 MyEncapsulateField
    "

    any suggestions
