New CodeRush Plugin - Declare Extension Method

Another new CodeRush plugin!

This time one to help declare extension methods on existing objects.

Introducing Declare Extension Method

This plugin is really simple.

Consider the following code with a call to an undeclared method MyNewMethod.

Place your caret on the call to MyNewMethod and hit your CodeRush Refactor key (Defaults to Ctrl+`)

Choose ‘Declare Extension Method’ from the menu.

CodeRush generates a new static class in the same namespace as your calling code, containing the stub of your new extension method.

The previous syntax error will have disappeared and all that’s left to do, is for you to fill in the implementation of your new method
