Is there any existing way to detect control names and enforce a certain prefix on them like "ux"?

If not, what is the possiblity of adding this feature?

 Tod

Hi Tod,

This requires new rule which we have on our list for the early next week update.

Just clarify, you want to enforce a specific prefix for types derived from System.Windows.Forms.Control, correct?

Yes, that is correct.  We want all of our controls to start with 'ux'.  

Private orderNumber as TextBox   'should be flagged 

Private uxOrderNumber as TextBox   'would be accepted.

Is this type of rule in your latest rules update from Jan 28?

Yes, the rule is in the Jan 28 update.

You need to new add rule (see How to add rule to User Profile) with

Rule: Use prefix for derived type (Naming category)

Target: Choose appropriate target (i.e. Field)

MustImplement: System.Windows.Forms.Control

PrefixToCheck: ux

Hi Serge,

Using this rule, is it possible to check that certain variable types are using a certain prefix, ie. string respectively System.String should always be prefixed with str? I tried this rule but it did not trigger at all:

Rule: Use prefix for derived type (Naming category)

Target: Field, Parameter, Variable, Local Constant

MustImplement: System.String

PrefixToCheck: str

Also tried defining all a number of strings using System.String instead of the usual alias but that have no effect either.

 Best Regards

 Fred

Hi Fred,

The rule you want to use for this is "Use prefix for return type  (Naming) "

Hi,

How could I do the same checking for WebControls? I tried the same way by using System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox for example but it doesn't work.

Please advice.

Thank you

Yes, that's how you configure rule instance for WebForms controls.

Few questions:

Are your WebFroms controls declared just in the HTML mark up or in the code-behind (or in-page code) as well? Like the snippet below

public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
    private TextBox textBox1;

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
   
    }
}

If your web project is written in VB.NET using VS2005 then you need to declare the following Imports in the code-behind module explicitly

Imports System.Web.UI.WebControls

then CodeIt.Right will find your WebForms control. Visual Studio implicitly declares number of imports for VB.NET and hides it in web.config file. VS2005 has an issue when it does not return the reference list to hosted VS Packages.

Please let me know if any of this helps.

Hi,

I am using drag and drop html control to web form. I didn't see any code behind declaration, therefore should be in the HTML mark up.

I checked code behind code and see using System.Web.UI.WebControls there. But analysis still not work.

Does it CIR not support this?

Please advice. Thank you
 

Hi,

Any updates? Thank you

If you reference System.Web.UI.WebControls CIR should pick up the web controls in HTML markup as well. If we can reproduce we should fix this soon.
