First, the basic concept of the code template so-called "code template" is a source of code that has been part of the code. When adding a new Class file or FORM file to Project, VS.NET IDE will copy these template files as a new file. The file name of the new file is the file name entered in the Add New Item dialog. VS.NET IDE can automatically change Class Name in the template file to a new class name.
Using the code template, you can improve the work efficiency of some typical coding work, such as: (1) Automatically add an annotation block for recording the author, create a date, maintenance history, etc. (2) Automatically add the imports statement.
Second, the simplest code template to join the code that you want to include a declarative copyright in each class file, you can follow the steps: (1) Browse to the following path with the Windows Explorer: C: / Program Files / Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 / VB7 / VBWIZARDS / CLASS / TEMPLATES / 1033 (2) Find the class.vb file, open with Notepad, the content should be: public class [! Output safe_item_name] End Class
(3) Modify its contents:
'' Copyright (c) 2004 grapecity inc. All rights [! Output safe_item_name] End Class
(4) Save and shut down (5) Start VS.NET, create a new Windows Application Project (6) Add a new class file class1.vb. This new Class already contains a copyright statement comment code.
Third, the method above the more complex code template will result in any new Class File from any project. If more flexibility is desired, allow developers to be selected, create custom code templates, which appears in the Add New Item dialog as a new category. Specific steps are as follows:
