Ini Classifier

Generates a C# class with public static properties out of .ini file sections.
Creates new <INIFILENAME>.cs file for each .ini file.
It means if you have a Translations.ini file a new Translations.cs file will be created and added to your project.

E.g.

.ini file (Translations.ini) content:

INI

Edit|Remove

[First name] eng=First name rus=Имя  [Last name] eng=Last name rus=Фамилия

[First name]  eng=First name  rus=Имя    [Last name]  eng=Last name  rus=Фамилия

.cs file (Translations.cs) created after running the Ini Classifier tool:

namespace MMINI  {            // Created out of '\inis\Translations.ini'      public class Translations      {          public const string SOURCE_INI_FILE = "C:\\Users\\never_again\\Documents" +              "\\Visual Studio 2015" +              "\\Projects\\Demo\\inis\\Translations.ini";          public class FIRST_NAME          {              public const string Value = "First name";              public class Keys              {                  public const string ENG = "eng";                  public const string RUS = "rus";              }          }          public class LAST_NAME          {              public const string Value = "Last name";              public class Keys              {                  public const string ENG = "eng";                  public const string RUS = "rus";              }          }      }  }

And the usage is:

void GetNames() {     string rusFName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME,"rus");     string engFName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME,"eng");     string rusLName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME,"rus");     string engLName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME,"eng"); }

void GetNames()  {      string rusFName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME,"rus");      string engFName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME,"eng");      string rusLName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME,"rus");      string engLName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME,"eng");  }

And the usage in Advanced mode is:

void GetNames()  {      string rusFName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME.Value,                               MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME.Keys.RUS);      string engFName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME.Value,                               MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME.Keys.ENG);      string rusLName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME.Value,                               MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME.Keys.RUS);      string engLName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME.Value,                               MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME.Keys.ENG);  }

void GetNames()   {       string rusFName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME.Value,                                MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME.Keys.RUS);       string engFName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME.Value,                                MMINI.Translations.FIRST_NAME.Keys.ENG);       string rusLName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME.Value,                                MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME.Keys.RUS);       string engLName = ReadINI(MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME.Value,                                MMINI.Translations.LAST_NAME.Keys.ENG);   }
