This simple plugin allows you to create a fluent builde class for any POCO object. It is added to the right-click context menu when clicking on a .cs file in the Solution Explorer:

For example, the class:

C#

public class CommitBooking     {         public string basketCode { get; set; }         public string bookingType { get; set; }         public string bookingReason { get; set; }         public List<Paymentmethod> paymentMethods { get; set; }     }

public class CommitBooking      {          public string basketCode { get; set; }          public string bookingType { get; set; }          public string bookingReason { get; set; }          public List<Paymentmethod> paymentMethods { get; set; }      }

Is created in a CommitBookingBuilder.cs like the below:

C#

public class CommitBookingBuilder     {         private CommitBooking p_commitbooking = new CommitBooking();         public CommitBookingBuilder basketCode(string basketcode)         {             p_commitbooking.basketCode = basketcode;             return this;         }          public CommitBookingBuilder bookingType(string bookingtype)         {             p_commitbooking.bookingType = bookingtype;             return this;         }          public CommitBookingBuilder bookingReason(string bookingreason)         {             p_commitbooking.bookingReason = bookingreason;             return this;         }          public CommitBookingBuilder paymentMethods(System.Collections.Generic.List<DummyService.Paymentmethod> paymentmethods)         {             p_commitbooking.paymentMethods = paymentmethods;             return this;         }          public CommitBooking build()         {             return p_commitbooking;         }     }

public class CommitBookingBuilder      {          private CommitBooking p_commitbooking = new CommitBooking();          public CommitBookingBuilder basketCode(string basketcode)          {              p_commitbooking.basketCode = basketcode;              return this;          }            public CommitBookingBuilder bookingType(string bookingtype)          {              p_commitbooking.bookingType = bookingtype;              return this;          }            public CommitBookingBuilder bookingReason(string bookingreason)          {              p_commitbooking.bookingReason = bookingreason;              return this;          }            public CommitBookingBuilder paymentMethods(System.Collections.Generic.List<DummyService.Paymentmethod> paymentmethods)          {              p_commitbooking.paymentMethods = paymentmethods;              return this;          }            public CommitBooking build()          {              return p_commitbooking;          }      }

Which allows you to express and build an object like this:

C#

Edit|Remove

CommitBooking c = new CommitBookingBuilder() .basketCode("123") .bookingType("ABC") .bookingReason("ZZZ") .build();

CommitBooking c = new CommitBookingBuilder()  .basketCode("123")  .bookingType("ABC")  .bookingReason("ZZZ")  .build();

If you do not call .build() then you will return a Builder object instead - which can be useful when you want to extend the builder in other ways.
