Generate Deconstructors

note

Tuple deconstruction is a C# 7.0 feature.

By default, ReSharper automatically detects C# version based on the associated compiler. However, you can specify the target C# version explicitly for a project — right-click the project in the Solution Explorer, choose Edit project item properties from the context menu and use the C# Language Level selector .

To set the C# version for all projects in your solution, specify it in a Directory.Build.props file in your solution directory as described here.

ReSharper helps you quickly generate overloads for the Deconstruct method with selected members.

public class Version
{
    public int Major { get; }
    public int Minor { get; }
}

public class Version
{
    public int Major { get; }
    public int Minor { get; }

    public void Deconstruct(out int major, out int minor)
    {
        major = this.Major;
        minor = this.Minor;
    }
}

tip

You can configure common code generation preferences on the Code Editing | Members Generation page of ReSharper options Alt+R, O.

tip

You can invoke Find Usages ShiftF12 on the Deconstruct method to find all related tuple deconstructions.

ReSharper also checks if a type contains the required deconstructor, and if not, suggests a quick-fix based on the tuple deconstruction.

tip

To bind this code generation command to its own shortcut, go to Tools | Options | Environment | Keyboard and assign a shortcut for the ReSharper_GenerateDeconstructor command.
