Quickly introduce using statements and try...catch blocks

Last modified: 11 February 2024

To show the surround menu, select the block of code and press Ctrl0E,0U. This will pop up a menu of available surround statements:

Now, you can start typing the template name. For example, to surround selection with using, you can start typing us... while the popup is open. ReSharper will generate the default code stub and allow you to provide values for template parameters:
