New ASP.NET Refactorings

• Add RunAt Attribute - Adds runat="server" attribute to controls or tags.
• Convert to Points - Converts to the equivalent point amount.
• Convert to Pixels - Converts to the equivalent pixel amount.

Existing ContractProviders

• "Throw Exception" - Generates throw exceptions for the active member
• "Use Assertions" - Generates assertions for the active member
• "Out Parameters" - Generates initialization for the out parameters

 

Smart Tags
