Description

Modify C# codegen to use newer (.Net 3.0) C# Object Initializers.

(This is a replacement for the existing handling for auto property setting on Constructors)

see  C# 3.0 Features

Change History

  • summary changed from Move to .Net 4.0: Generate C# Object Initializers for Cobra property inits (codegen) to Move to .Net 4.0: Generate C# Automatic properties and Object Initializers for Cobra property inits (codegen)

Also change codegen to use Automatic properties syntax (elides decl of backing variable) for Props that have simple get/set access to a backing variable.

see  C# 3.0 Features

probably can also use newer (.Net 3.0) Collection Initialiser and Dictionary Initialiser syntax rather than current code.

I don't think this one is possible: "Also change codegen to use Automatic properties syntax (elides decl of backing variable) for Props that have simple get/set access to a backing variable."

Because C# and Cobra differ on the backing variable. In C#, the backing var is private and cannot be referenced anywhere in the call vs. in Cobra, the backing var is protected and named _foo.

OK, sounds reasonable
Shouldnt make any difference since in most cases no-one will be looking/using the C# generated code directly anyway

Can probably close this one then....

Well this is a compound ticket with the subject specifying two different things:

  • Generate C# Automatic properties
  • Generate Object Initializers for Cobra property inits (codegen)

So probably this ticket should be closed and a new one opened for the 2nd item. Right?

Or just rename this one (back oops) - already noted not/cant do the C# automatic properties.
