Another Cool Resharper Refactoring

Updated: at 06:34 PM

So, if you are like me, it’s easy to make mistakes on whether to use && or || when combining variables on if statements.  I hate to just start nesting if statements because the code gets bulky, but if not, I have to think three times about whether I got it right.

So, Here comes Resharper for c# from Jetbrains.  Simply write the if statement nested as follows:

if (_instance._meta == null)
{
    if (DataContextLazyLoad)
    {
        AssignAllDataContexts.Run();
    }
}

Then, resharper will give you the following suggestion about merging if’s:

Chose “Merge two if’s”

And, this is what you get:

if (_instance._meta == null && DataContextLazyLoad)
{
    AssignAllDataContexts.Run();
}

OK, granted, this one was pretty simple, but think about when it gets more complicated.  Hard not to love this product.
