Top-level statements in MSVS

Say you've created a new project with top-level statements in MSVS. Is it possible to change it to not use top level statements after the project has been created?

Like say you leave "do not use top level statements" unticked in the above window during project creation How can this setting be reversed for the individual project?

Just add the boilerplate It's not like it's a whole different project type

surwren•2y ago

what about the other way around, where the setting is ticked and you want to avoid using the boilerplate after project creation?

Delete it

Just convert it by hand. It's a few LoC to add/delete. It's not a big deal.

it's just

public class Program
{
    public static void Main() { // code go here }
}

public class Program
{
    public static void Main() { // code go here }
}

but top level statements generates that boilerplate behind the scenes So Console.WriteLine("Hello World") in a Top Level Statement project gets built as

public class Program
{
    public static void Main() 
    { 
        Console.WriteLine("Hello World") 
    }
}

public class Program
{
    public static void Main() 
    { 
        Console.WriteLine("Hello World") 
    }
}

Press ctrl+. In the main method or on the top level statements There is a refactoring to convert to/from

Oh, nice.

surwren•2y ago

oh, this is native to msvs without resharper? hmm, ctrl + isn't doing anything

Pobiega•2y ago
