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.
