Smart Interfaces

IDisposable ISerializable ICloneable IComparable

IDisposable (C#, VB.NET)

Top

Implements IDisposable pattern with the statements.

Features:

• Supports public, explicit, abstract, and extended implementations.
• Supports implementation kind change (refactor itself).
• Optionally you can select any field reference types that implemets IDisposable interface to generate code for the call to their Dispose() methods.
• Can re-generate the statements of any methods that were left blank. This is a quick way to synchronise the overloaded Dispose() method with the latest changes in your type.
• Supports disposing elements of an extended generic collection type that the constructed type has implemeted IDisposable interface. (C# only)

Notes:

Smart IDisposable command always casts the selected fields before it calls the Dispose() method to ensure the right method is called. In C# you can have a public Dispose() method that may or may not call the private implemented IDisposable.Dispose() method. Also in VB.NET the extended member of an Interface does not need to match the name of the interface member, unlike C#. To avoid these issues it would be a safe bet to cast the fields to IDisposable before calling the Dispose() method.

ISerializable (C#, VB.NET)

Top

Implements ISerializable pattern with the statements.

Features:

• Supports public, explicit, abstract, and extended implementations.
• Supports implementation kind change (refactor itself).
• Can regenerate the statements of any methods if the method(s) were left blank. This is useful to synchronise the methods with the latest changes in the class.

ICloneable (C#, VB.NET)

Top

It Serializes the object to Memory using Binary formatter then deserializes the memory buffer and returns the result as an object. This technique is used only if the class contains field reference types or the type extendeds another type, otherwise the MemberwiseClone() method will be used for simplicity.

IComparable (C#, VB.NET)

Top

This command implements both IComparable and Generic IComparable interfaces. Public and Explicit implementation are supported only. Similar to Extract Comparer Type command you would be presented with a list of Properties that you can select and to set the comparison order. This command can implement both IComparable and Generic IComparable interfaces at same time for your convenient.
