SearchAThing.Automation

Automation helpers ( get completions using Roslyn )

Build

There are many dependencies between projects in relative path directly from other source repositories, in order to build successfully its suggested to clone follow repository SearchAThing containing all of them.

Prerequisites

• NET Framework 4.6

Features

• extract a list of information about suggestion coming from Roslyn CompletionService.GetService(...)

Missing features

• signature documentation ( seems roslyn team is working to expose SignatureHelp API #3540 )

Examples

Example1

Follow example shows how to complete hint for the System.windows.MessageBox method:

static void test1()
{
    var str =
@"
using System;
using System.Windows;
public class MyClass
{
public void CompleteMe()
{
/**/ MessageBox.
}
}";

    var off = str.IndexOf("/**/ MessageBox.") + "/**/ MessageBox.".Length;

    var a = typeof(System.Windows.MessageBox);

    var assemblies = new[]
    {
        a.Assembly
    };

    var task = str.AutoComplete(off, assemblies);

    foreach (var x in task.Result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
}

results in follow console output:

[m]     Boolean Equals(Object obj)
[m]     Boolean Equals(Object objA, Object objB)
[m]     Boolean ReferenceEquals(Object objA, Object objB)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(String messageBoxText, String caption, MessageBoxButton button, MessageBoxImage icon, MessageBoxResult defaultResult, MessageBoxOptions
 options)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(String messageBoxText, String caption, MessageBoxButton button, MessageBoxImage icon, MessageBoxResult defaultResult)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(String messageBoxText, String caption, MessageBoxButton button, MessageBoxImage icon)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(String messageBoxText, String caption, MessageBoxButton button)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(String messageBoxText, String caption)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(String messageBoxText)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(Window owner, String messageBoxText, String caption, MessageBoxButton button, MessageBoxImage icon, MessageBoxResult defaultResult, Mes
sageBoxOptions options)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(Window owner, String messageBoxText, String caption, MessageBoxButton button, MessageBoxImage icon, MessageBoxResult defaultResult)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(Window owner, String messageBoxText, String caption, MessageBoxButton button, MessageBoxImage icon)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(Window owner, String messageBoxText, String caption, MessageBoxButton button)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(Window owner, String messageBoxText, String caption)
[m]     MessageBoxResult Show(Window owner, String messageBoxText)

Example2

Follow example shows how to complete hint for the executing assembly.

namespace SearchAThing.Automation.Example
{
    public static class MyUtils
    {

        public static int Sum(int x, int y)
        {
            return x + y;
        }

        public static int Sum(int x, int y, int z)
        {
            return x + y + z;
        }

    }
}

static void test2()
{
    var str =
@"
using SearchAThing.Automation.Example;
public class MyClass
{       
public void CompleteMe()
{
/**/ MyUtils.
}
}";

    var off = str.IndexOf("/**/ MyUtils.") + "/**/ MyUtils.".Length;

    var a = typeof(System.Windows.MessageBox);

    var assemblies = new[]
    {
        Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly()
    };
            
    var task = str.AutoComplete(off, assemblies);

    foreach (var x in task.Result)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(x);
    }
}

results in follow console output:

[m]     Boolean Equals(Object obj)
[m]     Boolean Equals(Object objA, Object objB)
[m]     Boolean ReferenceEquals(Object objA, Object objB)
[m]     Int32 Sum(Int32 x, Int32 y)
[m]     Int32 Sum(Int32 x, Int32 y, Int32 z)
