Does anyone know if there is a way to change the default class scope and constructor scope when creating a new class? 90% of my classes are internal, so I have to change the scope from public to internal and the default constructor every time. Just a small annoyance but an annoyance non the less.
dont think this is possible. You're just gonna have to change them to internal manually :(
Woka
Bloody annoying little thing, bugs me every time. How many people need public classes all the time? Internal has to be the most common scope.
I'm sure that you could create a VS macro to do it, although I have next to no experience with IDE macros so I couldn't give you any details.
Am I the only person who thinks that internal should be the default scope for new classes and their default constructor?
Here is what you can do:
Browse in your explorer to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003\VC#\VC#Wizards\CSharpAddClassWiz\Templates\1033
Open the File "NewCSharpFile.cs" A Text Editor would do just fine.
Modify to your needs.
Save.
Close and reopen VS.
Now everytime you add a new Class, your new File will be the template for it.
You might want to save the original File somewhere, just in case you screw up !

Thanks a lot, that's it sorted.
Nice one Sgt Onion :p
That's very very cool to know...more annoying that the class scope is adding/removing default comments too. imo.
Woooooof
I agree that the default scope for classes should be internal, but once the class is internal it doesn't matter if its members are public. You can't access a public member of a class you can't see, so a public constructor of an internal class is inaccessible from outside the current assembly.Quote:

Yes, I know, I did say it was a small annoyance, but I'm just a pedant.Quote:
