Visual Assist has a feature\u2014Implement Virtual Methods\u2014that makes it easy to implement an interface, or abstract methods of a base class. You don’t need to create anything manually.<\/p>\n

Move the caret to a base or interface class in the declaration of your derived class, or to\u00a0the derived class if you want to implement methods from all bases classes.<\/p>\n

Open a refactoring menu\u2014via the context menu or Shift+Alt+Q\u2014and select Implement Virtual Methods.<\/p>\n

\"blogImplVirtual\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A dialog will open, letting you choose the methods to implement.<\/p>\n

\"blogImplVirtualDialog\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Visual Assist updates the declaration of your class, and create stubs in its implementation. By default, an exception is placed in the body of each method.<\/p>\n

\"blogImplVirtualMethodCreated\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You can change the default by modifying the VA Snippet for “Create from Usage Method Body”.<\/p>\n

\"blogImplVirtualSnippet\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you add methods to an interface, repeat the process and Visual Assist will automatically disable existing methods.<\/p>\n

\"blogImplVirtualRerun\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The declaration and implementation of your new method will be inserted in the correct locations, relative to the existing methods.<\/p>\n

\"blogImplVirtualDeclCreated\"<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s all there is to it.<\/p>\n
