[Mono-devel-list] Small Tool

[Gaurav Vaish]

Hi,

    Working on the class System.Web.Mobile.MobileCapabilities is nasty -
more so because it has about 70 properties where the code is to almost be
repeated.

    For easy working, I made a small tool that does the job for me.
    The MakeProps.pl file takes two parameters - name of the property and
type of property and generates the code for me.

    For example, if name is CanRenderAfterInputOrSelectElement and type is
bool, it generates the following code:

--------------------------------
  private bool canRenderAfterInputOrSelectElement = false;

  public bool CanRenderAfterInputOrSelectElement
  {
   get
   {
    if(!this.canRenderAfterInputOrSelectElement)
    {
     if(this["CanRenderAfterInputOrSelectElement"] != null)
     {
      this.canRenderAfterInputOrSelectElement =
           Convert.ToBoolean(this["CanRenderAfterInputOrSelectElement"]);
     }
    }
    return this.canRenderAfterInputOrSelectElement;
   }
  }

--------------------------------

    The second program: genProps.pl does this in batch.

    I was wondering if anybody may need this - will need to customize for
individual case though (obviously), but philosophy remains same - it saves a
lot of time over even copy-paste-edit. Do you think it is good enough to be
put in mcs/tools?




Happy Hacking,
Gaurav
