I know there is no different between string and String in C# (except for the using System that is added for System.String). Still, same like in this SO-answer, I'd prefer to use string with a lowercase s as type, and String with an uppercase S when I call a String.SomeMethod (for example String.IsNullOrWhitespace(...); String.Format(...) or String.Empty.
I know I can add custom patterns in ReShaper using Visual Studio RESHARPER menu -> Option -> Code Inspection -> Custom Patterns -> Add pattern. I've added the following custom pattern:
- Search pattern:
string.$method$ - Pattern severity:
Show as suggestion - Match similar constructs:
Unchecked - Search Description:
Check if string.SomeMethod is used instead of String.SomeMethod - Replace pattern:
String.$method$ - Format after replace:
Checked - Shorten reference:
Unchecked - Replace Description:
Use String instead of string
On a line like string.IsNullOrWhitespace(...) it does indeed give the suggestion and replaces it correctly to String.IsNullOrWhitespace(...). The problem however, is that it now also gives the suggestion when it's already correct or after I've replaced it. So is it possible to make the Search pattern case-sensitive? So it will only give the suggestion at string.SomeMethod, instead of also at String.SomeMethod?
EDIT: Also, is it possible to have an option to apply it to the entire project/solution, similar to the warning Remove unused directives in file -> Remove unused directives in solution (in v8.0 or higher)?
