C# Syntax supported by Model-Maker C# Edition
Does Model-Maker C# Edition support the full C# 1.x / 3.x syntax ?
Generating C# source
ModelMaker generates C# v1 - v3 syntax depending on the project settings. All class related source is supported except:
- Nested types are not supported and can not be created using ModelMaker.
- partial class support is limited to a single "part" per model.
- Preprocessor directives - including regions - inside classes or member declarations are not supported and cannot be created using ModelMaker.
- Preprocessor directives inside method implementations are fully supported.
Importing C# source
The ModelMaker importer parser understands the full C# v1.1 - C# 3.5 syntax. However, preprocessor directives (such as conditional defines and regions) are not interpreted.
Transforming the imported source into the ModelMaker model has the same limitations as the code generator:
- Nested types inside classes are not supported. Importing source containing nested types moves these types into the nearest namespace. As a result these types end up in module code rather being part of the class.
- Importing multiple parts of partial classes is not supported. If you try do this, you'll get an importer warning.
- Preprocessor directives -including regions - inside class code are igored and in effect removed.
- Preprocessor directives -including regions - inside method implementation blocks are fully supported.
- Comments not matching the Documentation signature inside class code are ignored and removed.
- Comments inside method implementation blocks are fully supported.
