Finding Unused Names (Variables)

[x703jko]

Is there a way within the NS editor to find unused variables?

I tried using the VS editor and it's not obvious how to do that either.

Using the find tool works, but is tedious if one has a lot of unused names (like when you edit an existing piece of code).

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hello x703jko,

Thank you for writing in. There is no native way to do this in the NinjaScript Editor unfortunately. If you would like I can submit a feature request on your behalf for the NinjaScript editor to be able to locate unused variables/methods. Please let me know if you would like me to do this.

There are many tools that have been made for this purpose which are publicly available on the internet.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

FxCop. I think the functionality has been included into VS.

Yes, I believe a feature like this would be a useful thing to have. Is it already in NT8? If not, it would be a good thing for both NT7 and 8.

What are the various publicly available tools to do this? I know about Resharp, but it is not freeware and the price is somewhat high for something that I may use relatively infrequently.

For NT8, get it from Visual Studio.

I am not quite sure that you can do the same with NT7. You may have to use FxCop.
