This one is just to amazing to not blog about. I’ve been a die heart ReSharper user for quite a while and recently have started using their early access versions. Primarily because they seem to have added a lot of LINQ support which I use heavily now. I had the following code before the refactor. I have to admit, it’s a little .Net 1.1/2.0 ish, but what can I say, I’m a production coder and it did the job.
private static int GetTransitTime(string parcelToCheck) { int transitTime = 0; foreach (var parcelSCAC in Constant.UPS_SCAC_MAP) { if (parcelSCAC.Key.Equals(parcelToCheck)) { transitTime = Constant.UPS_TRANSIT_TIME[parcelSCAC.Value]; break; } } return transitTime; }
I noticed the little helper icon making a suggestion (ReSharper Icon that is) so I hovered over to see what it wanted.
And, I chose what it suggested, and wow! check this out. The way I should have coded it in the first place.
private static int GetTransitTime(string parcelToCheck) { return (from parcelSCAC in Constant.UPS_SCAC_MAP where parcelSCAC.Key.Equals(parcelToCheck) select Constant.UPS_TRANSIT_TIME[parcelSCAC.Value]).FirstOrDefault(); }
All I can say is I love it. If you don’t use ReSharper, drop what you are doing and go out and buy it!
