I now that Smart Return is used for the return value of a method.

But I'm running into a problem because I would like to have the same thing on the return value of a instance method for my template. For example:

List<Application> listApplication = new List<Application>();

<<Smart Return>> = someInstance.SomeMethod(); //This method should return a List<Application>

The result would be:

listApplication = someInstance.SomeMethod();

The reason I need this besides it being very helpful in general, is because in my template I'm linking the return value in the method to the return value of the instance method I call with that method. For example:

#Method# Template
public <<Link(ReturnValue)>> MethodName()
{

     <<Caret>><<FieldStart>><<Link(ReturnValue)>><<FieldEnd>><<BlockAnchor>> <<Link(ReturnValue,FormatParamName)>> = new <<Link(ReturnValue)>>;

     <<Link(ReturnValue,FormatParamName)>> = SomeInstance.SomeMethod();

} 

What happens when I do this Visual Studio screws up all the formating. So I have a work around for this by using a <<Target>>.

#ReturnValue# Template
<<Link(ReturnValue,FormatParamName)>> = SomeInstance.SomeMethod();

#Method Template#
public <<Link(ReturnValue)>> MethodName()
{

     <<Caret>><<FieldStart>><<Link(ReturnValue)>><<FieldEnd>><<BlockAnchor>> <<Link(ReturnValue,FormatParamName)>> = new <<Link(ReturnValue)>>;

     <<Target(#ReturnValue#)>>

} 

This sovles the format problem, but it creates another problem that I can get the variable name of the return type. I have tried passing the name as a Variable using <<Set>> and <<Get>> but Variables don't seem to get passed with <<Target>>. My only other option is to have a real Smart Return or create a DXCore pluging, but I don't want to because I need to distribute this to other people.

 Any other ideas?

Thanks,
Eric
