Catel.ReSharper

Catel.ReSharper is a ReSharper plugin that helps with development in the following fields:

• Make classes to inherits from ModelBase or ViewModelBase
• Convert automatic properties to Catel properties
• Expose view model properties as view model ones
• Check for arguments using the Argument class

Basically convert this:

/// <summary>
///     The person model.
/// </summary>
public class Person 
{
  #region Public Properties

  /// <summary>
  ///     Gets or sets the first name.
  /// </summary>
  public string FirstName { get; set; }

  /// <summary>
  ///     Gets or sets the last name.
  /// </summary>
  public string LastName { get; set; }

  /// <summary>
  ///     Gets or sets the age.
  /// </summary>
  public int Age { get; set; }
  
  #endregion
}

into this:

/// <summary>
///     The person model.
/// </summary>
public class Person : ModelBase
{
    #region Static Fields

    /// <summary>Register the FirstName property so it is known in the class.</summary>
    public static readonly PropertyData FirstNameProperty = RegisterProperty<Person, string>(model => model.FirstName);
    
    /// <summary>Register the LastName property so it is known in the class.</summary>
    public static readonly PropertyData LastNameProperty = RegisterProperty<Person, string>(model => model.LastName, default(string), (s, e) => s.OnLastNameChanged());

    /// <summary>Register the Age property so it is known in the class.</summary>
    public static readonly PropertyData AgeProperty = RegisterProperty<Person, int>(model => model.Age, default(int), (s, e) => s.OnAgeChanged(e));

    #endregion

    #region Public Properties

    /// <summary>
    ///     Gets or sets the first name.
    /// </summary>
    public string FirstName
    {
        get { return this.GetValue<string>(FirstNameProperty); }
        set { this.SetValue(FirstNameProperty, value); }
    }

    /// <summary>
    ///     Gets or sets the last name.
    /// </summary>
    public string LastName
    {
        get { return this.GetValue<string>(LastNameProperty); }
        set { this.SetValue(LastNameProperty, value); }
    }

    /// <summary>
    ///     Gets or sets the age.
    /// </summary>
    public int Age
    {
        get { return this.GetValue<int>(AgeProperty); }
        set { this.SetValue(AgeProperty, value); }
    }

    #endregion
    
    #region Methods

    /// <summary>
    /// Occurs when the value of the Age property is changed.
    /// </summary>
    /// <param name="e">
    /// The event argument
    /// </param>
    private void OnAgeChanged(AdvancedPropertyChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    /// <summary>
    ///  Occurs when the value of the LastName property is changed.
    /// </summary>
    private void OnLastNameChanged()
    {
        throw new NotImplementedException();
    }

    #endregion
}

with pleasure!
