Constructor dependency code snippet in visual studio

Question

I find myself adding dependencies a lot to constructors like so:

public class SomeClass() {
    private ISomeService _service;
    private IAnotherService _anotherService;
    public SomeClass(ISomeService service, IAnotherService anotherService) {
        _service = service;
        _anotherService = anotherService;
    }
}

They're quite tedious to write, I've been looking for code snippets in visual studio to automatically add one to the constructor but haven't found one.

What I want is:

• When adding a dependency to a constructor some snippet automatically creates a local variable and assigns to it.

OR

• Add a private variable and then some snippet automatically adds it to the constructor and assigns it to the local variable.

Answer 1

If you have R# you can enter the field declarations and then highlight them and hit Alt-Enter which will give you the option to generate the constructor and field assignments.
