ConvertStringToAppSetting for CodeRush provides a Refactoring to aid in the createion of simple settings.
Once installed, this refactoring is available via the CodeRush Refactor menu.
Starting with a simple String literal
Place your caret within the literal and hit your CodeRush\Refactor key. (Defaults to Ctrl+`)
Choose Convert String to AppSetting from the menu.
Your string literal will be replaced with a call to ConfigurationManager.AppSettings
If you didn't already have one, an app.config file will have been created and added to your project.
Your app.config file will have a new entry in it to account for your new setting.
Note: The AppSettings 'key' attribute and the ConfigurationManager.AppSettings values have been linked together so that you can alter them as one.
Once you are happy with your new settings key, hit enter and your changes are confirmed.
