• Use System.String.Empty instead of ""
• Use System.Environment.NewLine instead of "\r\n"
• Convert @"" to ""
• Convert "" to @""
• Surround with ""
• Mark as (non) localizable
• Introduce constant
• Check array index value
• Check collection or list index value
• Check dictionary key value
• Check String or StringBuilder index value

Highlights

• String could be moved to resource
• Use resource instead of string literal
• Cannot resolve resource
• Use more safety resource accessor

Refactoring Methods

• Move string to resource
• Move string(s) from File(s)
• Move string(s) from Folder(s)
• Move string(s) from Project
• Rename Resource Key

Custom Tools

Move String to Resource

This context action helps you to move a string literal to a resource file by the refactoring method "Move String(s) to Resource".

Use Resource Instead of String

This context action replaces the current string literal by a typed access to a resource.

Use System.String.Empty instead of ""

This context action replaces the empty string literal by the System.String.Empty usage.

Use System.Environment.NewLine instead of "\r\n"

This context action replaced by the System.Environment.NewLine usage are string literals: "\r", "\n" and "\r\n".

Convert @"" to ""

This context action converts the current verbatim string to a regular string.

Convert "" to @""

This context action converts the current regular string to a verbatim string.

Surround with ""

This context action helps to create a string literal from the current selection.

Mark as (Non) Localizable

This context action marks a parameter of the constructor, method or property as (non) localizable.

Introduce Constant

This context action replaces a literal by constant declaration.

Check Array Index Value

This context action adds if statement for test index value.

Context action result.

Check Collection or List Index Value

This context action adds if statement for test index value.

Context action result.

Check dictionary key value

This context action adds if statement for test key value.

Context action result.

Check String or StringBuilder Index Value

This context action adds if statement for test index value.

Context action result.

String Could be Moved to Resource

All localizable string literals are highlighted.

Use Resource Instead of String Literal

All localizable string literals that exists in resources are highlighted.

Cannot Resolve Resource

Shows error if your code contains invalid resource identifiers.

Use More Safety Resource Accessor

Suggests to replace unsafe resource accessor by more safety accessor.

Move String to Resource

Use context action Move string to resource or the action "Move"(F6) for start refactoring.

Choose resource file and key for the selected string.

Select same strings for removing.

All selected strings will be replaced by typed access.

You can undo changes:

Move String(s) from File(s), Folder(s) or Project

Select File(s), Folder(s) or Project in "Solution Explorer" and call "Refactor This"(Ctrl+Shift+R) to start refactoring.

Choose strings from selected project for refactoring.

Choose resource file and key(s) for the selected string(s).

You can undo changes.

Rename Resource

Move cursor to the resource wrapper usage and call "Rename "(F2) to start refactoring and type a new name.

SafeResx - Strongly Typed Resource Generators

Now you can generate safer code for your resources.

Features

• Add a comment for the resource line by using comment XML tag.
• Generated class has public modifier, which allows you to create shared resources between assemblies.
• For formatting, string generates typed methods for calling String.Format.

Use one of the following custom tools to get safer code:

• SharedSafeResx - Generates shared resource wrapper, which allows you to use resources in referenced assemblies.
• PrivateSafeResx - Use this generator to create private project resources.
