Hi,

I have created custom rule to check private field if use "_" as prefix and warn. It works fine. However, how could I specify its action to remove "_"?

 I tried to create a new rule which based use replace identifier prefix rule, specified "_" to prefixtocheck and leave empty to prefixtoreplace. However, it is not supported. Then I tried to specify "m_" to prefixtoreplace. Unfortunately, it failed to detect any violation. Instead, it complaint my eventargs e contain "_" but it actually not.

Please advice.

 Thank you
 

We may be a bug. We will try to reproduce it on Monday and get back to you.

Thank you for your patience.

We tried rule "Use or avoid certain prefixes", checked Field as Target and properties:

PrefixToCheck: '_'
NextCharCapitalizationStyle: Lower
PrefixUsage: Avoid

This doesn't work - there is a glitch that ignores the underscore.

We will fix the glitch.

However we found a workaround you can use right now:

Rule: ReplaceIdentifierPrefix
PrefixToCheck: '_'
PrefixToReplace: ' ' (a single space - will be trimmed by CIR to an empty string)

This should remove the underscores they way you want it.
