VS 2022 a genuine wow moment
-
I was writing a little bit of code today to replace commas within double quotes enclosed text in a huge string. This string could have multiple segments of double quoted text. I had only written this bit
// Replace all the commas that are between double quotes
char[] linechars = line.ToCharArray();
bool isInQuotes = false;for (int i = 0; i < linechars.Length; i++)
{
if (linechars[i] == '"')//This was predicted by Visual StudioThis IDE can read my code and comments and predict the next if statement. This is amazing. P.S. Before someone points out miserable string handling, I really do not care about code quality. This is a one time use (quick or slow) and dirty utility.

It is pretty amazing sometimes - takes a bit of getting used to but it can really speed up your code. But even for a quick'n'dirty, that's rather long winded - especially if it's a long string as ToCharArray allocates memory and copies string content into it. You can index directly into a string, remember?

It is amazing... until it is not... Wait and see - after enough suggestions you will find that most of them are plain stupid repetition of what you done before (a true no-brain op)...

I`m not using VS 2022, a feature like that belongs to the realm of SF, really. Very original. Of course old fashion people (me included) might display appreciation towards this advancement in intellisense/autocomplete but will never actually use it in their projects.

You might be surprised - it's actually pretty good. I'm not young - 63 - but I'm finding it handy to "fill in the blanks" with the drudge stuff: it works out what they heck you are likely to be trying to do and provides a default text that uses sensible variables you used earlier and suchlike. It does appear to use the variable names to help it decide as well, which is a damn good reason for using sensible names at all times instead of "quick to type" ones ... :-D Give it a try (the Community edition is free so there's not a lot of excuse) - it might surprise you! (It did me.)

The

Well, in my experience, paying attention to code quality, no matter the requirements, always pays off. ;P Converting the string to a char array and then iterating over it with a for loop is a bit like walking away from the pilot seat without setting the auto-pilot. :laugh:

nice, soon you will only need to write the first half of your program, the IDE will figure out the other half on his own

:laugh: It's not quite that good, but if you do something like this:
var bananas = Fruit.GetFruits(Color.Yellow);
Then later in the method type
foreach(it will autofill with this:foreach(var f in bananas)
If (as I much prefer) you use an explicit type:
List bananas = Fruit.GetFruits(Color.Yellow);
Then the autofill is explicit as well:
foreach(Fruit fruit in bananas)
All on a single TAB press. Once you are used to it, it takes the typing out of the simple stuff, and it leaves you free to concentrate on the "why" you are doing it, instead of the "what".

I had more obviously wrong suggestions than cases where it generated what I wanted, but that's not why I turned it off after a few weeks. I pulled the plug because about 5-10% of the suggestions were dangerously wrong. Things that looked OK at first glance, but which had subtle logic errors in them. Trying to debug my own wrong think is bad enough, when the code running is ever so slightly off of what I intended was far worse.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius

Now redo another block of code, but change "commas" in your comment to something else...then as you're typing the actual code, see if it picks up what your comment said as you're suggesting...

With the possible exception of auto-complete for method names etc., I distrust such suggestions. No IDE, irrespective of how much "AI" it is using, can truly understand my thought processes.

Agreed, however in the 99% of the cases that I work with, I'm either serializing/deserializing JSON or working with EF or Linq2SQL, both of which require setters on the model.
