Features

Add a New C# Class or Interface File

Creates a new class or interface file and generates an apropriate name for the namespace of the new file.

Use the File Explorer's context menu to add a class or interface file.

Tip: See below on how to change the generated namespace's name.

Embed Current Line or Selection

Embeds the current line or selection in a code control block.

Available code blocks:

• Block { ... }
• do { ... } while ();
• for (...) { ... }
• foreach (...) { ... }
• if (...) { ... }
• if (...) { ... } else { ... }
• lock (...) { ... }
• try { ... } catch { ... }

Keyboard shortcut: CMD+I E on macOS or Ctrl+I E on Windows and Linux

Tip: The feature is also available in the code editor's context menu and in 'Quick fixes' after selecting text in the editor.

Sort and group Using statements

Sorts using statements alphabetically and groups them by the first namespace part. The System and Microsoft namespaces are placed at the beginning.

For example:

using System.Text;
using Microsoft.Data;
using SomeOtherLibrary.Core;
using SomeOtherLibrary;
using System;

Becomes:

using System;
using System.Text;

using Microsoft.Data;

using SomeOtherLibrary;
using SomeOtherLibrary.Core;

Select 'Sort and Group Using Statements' from the 'Quick Fixes' menu when the editor caret is in a line with a using statement.

Requirements

It is recommended to install the VS Code C# extension.

Extension Settings

VS Sharper generates the name for the namespace of a new file from the project's folder structure. You can place a vssharper.json file in the projects root or any subfolder to overwrite the generated namespace name for this folder or any of its subfolders.

For example:

{
    "namespace": "MyProject"
}

The extension looks up the subfolders' chain for a vssharper.json file until it reaches the root of the project.

Telemetry

This extension collects anonymous usage data like VS Code. You can use VS Code's telemetry setting to turn it off.
