Alphabetizing Methods In Visual Studio


Answer :

While Resharper has many cool features it has a large impact in CPU and I/O usage and can be very complicated to use. It is also only available under commercial licensing unless you qualify for a few very specific free use licenses.

Try CodeMaid. It is free for commercial use and has a much lower performance overhead. I find it easy to use and it is very good for alphabetizing methods.

To sort your file, open the file via solution explorer:

  1. Right click the open file
  2. Code Maid menu (likely near the top of the right click menu)
  3. Click Reorganize Active Document

Alternatively, using the default CodeMaid hotkeys CTRL+M,Z to sort your active file.


Resharper has a Type Members Layout, which can order members by type, accessibility and alphabetically as well.

You can also take a look into Ora , which presents a pane in visual studio that is ordered (even though your source may not be). Link's dead.


The following answer goes much further than the OP asks, because I believe, that sorting methods just by name is far not enough for most programmers. Mostly you want your methods, constructors, fields, event handlers, and interface implementations to be seperated from each other (i.e. through regions), and sorted by various criteria.

For this purpose I tried NArrange, Regionerate, and others, but I've found them not intuitive to use. So ReSharper became the tool of my choice.

As already mentioned by @DavidN, ReSharper can sort your class members (fields, constructors, methods, delegates) by name, accessibility, type, readonly, etc... You can also surround specific members with regions. What I like the most is the ability to group interface members (e.g., #region IDisposable with void Dispose() method in it) and methods that handle an event.

ReSharper provides both - an easy way to configure and trigger the sorting of class members.

Configuring the layout

Create a XML file within Visual Studio and copy-paste the default type member layout (ReSharper Options > Languages > C# > Type Members Layout) into that file. Download the latest XSD schema. Add the schema file to Visual Studio's schema files (Menu > XML > Schemas... > Add). You should be able now, to edit the XML file with IntelliSense support.

Triggering the reorder

If you use the Visual Studio keyboard scheme (ReSharper Options > Visual Studio Integration) and press Ctrl+E,F for Silent Code Cleanup. A dialog will pop up, where you can select a Code Cleanup setting. For this setting you should check Reorder type members. The second time you press the shortcut, ReSharper will automatically reorder your class members.

Chemistry - Bond Angles In NH3 And NCl3

Answer : Solution 1: As Tan Yong Boon stated, it is Bent’s Rule with which we can explain the lower bond angle of \ce N F 3 \ce{NF3} \ce NF 3 when compared to \ce N H 3 \ce{NH3} \ce N H 3 . The rule as stated by Henry Bent: Atomic s character concentrates in orbitals directed towards electropositive substituents. Fluorine is more electronegative that hydrogen, and the \ce N − F \ce{N−F} \ce N − F bond would have greater p character than the \ce N − H \ce{N−H} \ce N − H bond. And more s character leads to large bond angles. Thus, the bond angle is greater in \ce N H 3 \ce{NH3} \ce N H 3 than in \ce N F 3 \ce{NF3} \ce NF 3 . Now, consider \ce N C l 3 \ce{NCl3} \ce NCl 3 . Clearly, \ce C l \ce{Cl} \ce Cl atom islarger in size than the central atom, nitrogen. Hence the higher bond angle here is due to the steric crowding caused by \ce C l \ce{Cl} \ce Cl atoms.(More pronounced than the electrongativity of \ce C l \ce{Cl} \ce Cl atom). They repel eachother and hence b

Are Regular VACUUM ANALYZE Still Recommended Under 9.1?

Answer : VACUUM is only needed on updated or deleted rows in non-temporary tables. Obviously you're doing lots of INSERTs but it's not obvious from the description that you're also doing lots of UPDATEs or DELETEs. These operations can be tracked with the pg_stat_all_tables view, specifically the n_tup_upd and n_tup_del columns. Also, even more to the point, there is a n_dead_tup column that tells, per table, how much rows need to be vacuumed. (see Monitoring statistics in the doc for functions and views related to statistics gathering). A possible strategy in your case would be to suppress the scheduled VACUUM, keeping an eye on this view and checking on which tables the n_dead_tup is going up significantly. Then apply the aggressive VACUUM to these tables only. This will be a win if there are large tables whose rows never get deleted nor updated and the aggressive VACUUM is really necessary only on smaller tables. But keep running the ANALYZE for the optimiz

Can Feynman Diagrams Be Used To Represent Any Perturbation Theory?

Answer : Diagram machinery works also for perturbation theory in classical statistical mechanics and classical field theories. Generally, various kinds of diagrams constitute a pictorial way of talking about tensor products and their contractions while hiding the multi-linear algebra from the layman. In the simplest case, vertices (or blobs) represent vectors, matrices, tensors; vertices have ingoing and/or outgoing ports; ingoing ports denote (contravariant) ro indices; outgoing ports denote (covariant) co indices; directed arcs between blobs give a pair of equal indices summed over; different base spaces ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ different arc types; symmetric tensors ⇔ \Leftrightarrow ⇔ undirected diagrams; no labels are needed for internal lines. In many cases, the directed arcs are decorated (as thin, thick, broken,wavy, curly lines), each decoration indicating the presence of a so-called propagator, a function of its label to use as a weight in the sum, which may beco
