VISUAL STUDIO TIPS
Edit multiple lines of code at the same time
Tip 1: Box Selection
Let’s take an example of the following class with integer properties and apply box selection to update int to, let’s say, double at one shot.
public class Test {
int x = 10;
int y = 20;
int z = 30;
int l = 40;
}
Shortcut Key: “Shift + Alt + down arrow (to select multiple rows).”
So the box selection works with all types of file extensions like “.cs” or “.html,” etc., in Visual Studio.
Example: “.html” file
Tip 2: Convert excel sheet data into class objects
Let’s take an example of the following excel data
Firstly, implement a class with columns.
public class Excel{
public string Name;
public string Age;
public string City;
}
Live Demonstration
Utilize box selection to convert excel data into class objects. I find it useful for developers.
