Generate a deconstructor in Visual Studio
This code generation applies to:
- C#
What: Lets you immediately generate the method stub for a new deconstructor.
When: You want to properly deconstruct your type automatically.
Why: You can manually type a deconstructor, but this feature generates the stub for you with the correct out parameters.
Declare a new type with the desired out parameters specified. This declaration will cause an error when no deconstruct instance matching your declaration can be found.
Take one of the following steps:
Keyboard
- With the cursor in your declaration, select Ctrl+. to trigger the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu.
Mouse
- Right-click and select the Quick Actions and Refactorings menu.
- Select the
icon that appears in the left margin if the text cursor is already on the empty line in the class.
Select Generate method 'MyInternalClass.Deconstruct' to generate the deconstructor.
