I've recently settled on a new format style for my code and want to replace the existing code. The only problem is there's 100's if not 1000's of files in my solution and i don't fancy formatting each one individually.
I was wondering how to create a macro to open every file in the solution that has the .cs file extension and simply select all the text and then cut and paste it (which would format it accordingly). It would also be great if it could sort and removing the using statements aswell but this is not that important as i'd imagine this would be a little harder.
I'd appreciate your help. Thanks
Problem solved! The following macro did the trick incase anyone is interested:
Public Module FormatAll
Public Sub FormatAll()
Dim sol As Solution = DTE.Solution
For i As Integer = 1 To sol.Projects.Count
Dim proj As Project = sol.Projects.Item(i)
For j As Integer = 1 To proj.ProjectItems.Count
FormatSome(proj.ProjectItems.Item(j))
Next
Next
End Sub
Private Sub FormatSome(ByVal projectItem As ProjectItem)
If projectItem.Kind = Constants.vsProjectItemKindPhysicalFile Then
If projectItem.Name.LastIndexOf(".cs") = projectItem.Name.Length - 3 Then
Dim window As Window = projectItem.Open(Constants.vsViewKindCode)
window.Activate()
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.FormatDocument")
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.RemoveAndSort")
window.Close(vsSaveChanges.vsSaveChangesYes)
End If
End If
For i As Integer = 1 To projectItem.ProjectItems.Count
FormatSome(projectItem.ProjectItems.Item(i))
Next
End Sub
End Module
For Visual Studio 2008 you have to change the format statements, because FormatDocument is not available:
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.SelectAll")
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.FormatSelection")
So the script should be:
Public Sub FormatAll()
Dim sol As Solution = DTE.Solution
For i As Integer = 1 To sol.Projects.Count
Dim proj As Project = sol.Projects.Item(i)
For j As Integer = 1 To proj.ProjectItems.Count
FormatSome(proj.ProjectItems.Item(j))
Next
Next
End Sub
Private Sub FormatSome(ByVal projectItem As ProjectItem)
If projectItem.Kind = Constants.vsProjectItemKindPhysicalFile Then
If projectItem.Name.LastIndexOf(".cpp") = projectItem.Name.Length - 4 Then
Dim window As Window = projectItem.Open(Constants.vsViewKindCode)
window.Activate()
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.SelectAll")
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.FormatSelection")
window.Close(vsSaveChanges.vsSaveChangesYes)
ElseIf projectItem.Name.LastIndexOf(".h") = projectItem.Name.Length - 2 Then
Dim window As Window = projectItem.Open(Constants.vsViewKindCode)
window.Activate()
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.SelectAll")
projectItem.Document.DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.FormatSelection")
window.Close(vsSaveChanges.vsSaveChangesYes)
End If
End If
For i As Integer = 1 To projectItem.ProjectItems.Count
FormatSome(projectItem.ProjectItems.Item(i))
Next
End Sub
