C# Method Signature Generation

Quickly scaffold method definitions by typing a shortcut keyword followed by the Tab key.

• method: Standard method
• imethod: Interface method (lacks implementation body)
• vmethod: Virtual method
• smethod: Static method
• xmethod: Extension method
• amethod: Asynchronous method
• asmethod: Asynchronous static method

// Type "eh" + Tab to generate:
private void OnCustomEvent(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    throw new NotImplementedException();
}

• eh: Event handler

// Type "seh" + Tab to generate:
private static void HandleStaticEvent(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    throw new NotImplementedException();
}

• seh: Static event handler

    _saveCmd ??= new DelegateCommand(OnSave, CanSave);

private void OnSave() { }

private bool CanSave() => true;

• cmdg: Generic DelegateCommand with a typed parameter

private DelegateCommand<string> _searchCmd;
public DelegateCommand<string> SearchCommand =>
    _searchCmd ??= new DelegateCommand<string>(OnSearch);

private void OnSearch(string query) { }
