C# Code Generation - finalize and code layout

[jez]

Hi

I am having problems with Enterprise Architect creating 2 destructors - ~Object() (the one we all want) and protected virtual void Finalize (the one we don't!).

Does any one know any easy work around for this?

A couple of other code layout issues.

EA structures a method by closing the block at the end of the declaration i.e

public void Blah(){
}

I prefer the standard

public void Blah()
{
}

Any ideas how to change this?

Thanks in advance
Jez

In order to change the format of generated code, you have to modify the code generation templates.

Hi Jez,

Regarding the Finalize : you can turn off the automatic generation of this from the Code Generation options.
Select your class, hit cntrl+G -> Advanced -> C# Specifications. You can change the default setting under Tools | Options | Generation menu.

Regarding the brace style : you will need to customize the code generation templates. In particular, the default Operation template. Replace the line with %PI=""% to %PI="\n"%. You'd also need to update the templates responsible for generating get/set methods in properties etc. The help file has some more info on customizing code templates.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
Ben

Just an update: We'll add a sanity check to the templates so that either a Finalizer or Destructor stub (not both) get auto generated.
