Does anyone have or know where I can find a description of the Resharper Powertoys

Question

Resharper has a bunch of powertoys, but no documentation that I can find on what they do and how to use them. Anyone have a source of this info?

• CsUnit PowerToy-
• Cyclomatic Complexity PowerToy
• dotTrace 3.1 Integration PowerToy
• ExploreTypeInterface PowerToy
• FindText PowerToy
• GenerateDispose PowerToy
• LiveTemplatesMacro PowerToy
• MakeMethodGeneric PowerToy
• MenuItem PowerToy
• OptionsPage PowerToy
• ReflectorNavigator PowerToy
• ZenCoding PowerToy

Answer 1

• Cyclomatic Complexity PowerToy - if you go to ReSharper options there is an option under Code Inspection for it. Although I set to as low as possible and I dont see ANY methods identified as being over the limit.

• GenerateDispose PowerToy - Use Alt-Insert in a class and there is the option to generate the dispose method (I think its disabled automatically if class doesnt inherit/implement IDispoasble - but not sure about that)

• ExploreTypeInterface PowerToy - have cursor in a symbol, go to the ReSharper menu and "Power Toys" option and then "Type Interface" and you will get a window showing the Interface for the TYPE of that symbol ie you are on a Integer variable you will see the interface for Integer type.

• FindText PowerToy - go to the ReSharper menu and "Power Toys" option and then "Find Text..." and you will get a window to search for text.

those are the ones I've figured out so far, but only been playing this afternoon.

Answer 2

Jesse,

I'll update the docs to reflect what each one does. Most of them do pretty much what their name says. Any particular one you need more info on?

Thanks.
