Live templates

For instance, how to write a "foreach" loop efficiently:

foreach<Tab>nameOfYourCollection<Tab><Tab>nameofVariable<Enter>

_{Thanks to Kim^J on IRC :)}

Let's say you want to write "wl<Tab>" and you want Rider to expand it to "WriteLine(I);", where I indicates the position of the cursor. How to do it?

• go to Settings | Live Templates
• Create a C# template group. Click on the green "+" button and select Template Group… Call the group "C#".
• Under the C# group create a new entry. Click on the "+" again and select Live Template.
  • Abbreviation: wl
  • Description: WriteLine();
  • Template text: WriteLine($END$);
  • At the bottom you have a warning: No applicable contexts. Click Define, select Other.
• Save

Now you can type "wl<Tab>" and it'll be expanded.
