Complete Statement
This command inserts necessary syntax elements (parentheses, braces, semicolons and so on) and gets you in position where you can start typing the next statement.
Complete current statement
Type the core of a statement (see scenarios below for examples).
Press Control+Shift+Enter or choose from the main menu . Alternatively, you can press Control+Shift+A, start typing the command name in the popup, and then choose it there.
The command is helpful in numerous scenarios, including auto-closing parentheses, adding semicolons, completing if, while and for statements, and more.
For example, whenever you declare a new method, complete statement comes handy after specifying method parameters:
At this point, to start writing the method body, you normally have to:
Insert a missing parenthesis.
Press Enter.
Insert an opening brace.
Press Enter once again.
With ReSharper, you only have to press Control+Shift+Enter, and it will automatically insert a closing parenthesis, as well as both braces, and put the caret right where you can proceed with writing the method body:
In similar ways, Complete Statement works with the following language constructs:
Types and type members: class, interface, struct, enum, delegate, field, event, and method declarations.
Statements:
if,while,do,switch,using,lock,continue,break, andreturnstatements;caseanddefaultclauses; conversion of single-line statements to block statements.Expressions: invocation, element access, string/char literals; object, member, and collection item initializers; expressions that create anonymous types and implicitly typed arrays.
Below, you can find a number of examples of applying the complete statement command in different contexts.
Use case | Before Complete Statement | After Complete Statement |
|---|---|---|
Class declaration |
public class Foo/*caret*/
|
public class Foo
{
/*caret*/
}
|
Delegate declaration |
delegate void ChangeHandler(object sender/*caret*/
|
internal delegate void ChangeHandler(object sender);
/*caret*/
|
Nested method invocation |
myVar.DoSomething(foo.Bar(value/*caret*/
|
myVar.DoSomething(foo.Bar(value));
/*caret*/
|
|
if(myVar != null/*caret*/
|
if(myVar != null)
{
/*caret*/
}
|
|
switch (position)
{
case Position.Last/*caret*/
}
|
switch (position)
{
case Position.Last:
/*caret*/
}
|
Conversion of a single-line statement into block (case A) |
if(myVar != null)
position = Position.Last;/*caret*/
|
if(myVar != null)
{
position = Position.Last;
/*caret*/
}
|
Conversion of a single-line statement into block (case B) |
if(myVar != null)
/*caret*/position = Position.Last;
|
if(myVar != null)
{
/*caret*/
position = Position.Last;
}
|
Element access expression |
var myValues = new Value[10/*caret*/
|
var myValues = new Value[10];
/*caret*/
