Shortcuts

Dumping

C#

// shortcut:  ddd
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Dump(params object[] args);
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Dump(Exception exception = null, Desharp.DumpOptions? options = null);
Desharp.Debug.Dump(obj);

// shortcut:  dddo
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Dump(object obj, DumpOptions? options = null);
Desharp.Debug.Dump(obj, new Desharp.DumpOptions {
  Depth = 4,
  SourceLocation = true
});

// shortcut:  ddf
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Fire.Log(object obj);
Desharp.Debug.Fire.Log(obj);

// shortcut:  dddd
// method:    Desharp.Debug.DumpAndDie(object obj = null, DumpOptions? options = null);
Desharp.Debug.DumpAndDie(obj);

Visual Basic

' shortcut:   ddd
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Dump(ParamArray args As Object)
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Dump(
'               Optional exception As Exception = Nothing, 
'               Optional options As DumpOptions? = Nothing
'             )
Desharp.Debug.Dump(obj)

' shortcut:   dddo
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Dump(obj As Object, Optional options As DumpOptions? = Nothing)
Desharp.Debug.Dump(obj, New Desharp.DumpOptions With {
  .Depth = 4,
  .SourceLocation = True
})

' shortcut:   ddf
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Fire.Log(obj As Object)
Desharp.Debug.Fire.Log(obj)

' shortcut:   dddd
' method:     Desharp.Debug.DumpAndDie(
'               Optional obj As Object = Nothing, 
'               Optional options As DumpOptions? = Nothing
'             )
Desharp.Debug.DumpAndDie(obj)

Logging

C#

// shortcut:  dde
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Log(Exception exception = null);
Desharp.Debug.Log(ex);

// shortcut:  ddl
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Log(
//              object obj = null, 
//              Level level = Level.INFO, 
//              int maxDepth = 0, 
//              int maxLength = 0
//            );
Desharp.Debug.Log(obj, Desharp.Level.DEBUG);

Visual Basic

' shortcut:   dde
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Log(Optional exception As Exception)
Desharp.Debug.Log(ex)

' shortcut:   ddl
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Log(
'               Optional obj As Object = Nothing, 
'               Optional level As Level = Level.INFO, 
'               Optional maxDepth As Int32 = 0, 
'               Optional maxLength As Int32 = 0
'             )
Desharp.Debug.Log(obj, Desharp.Level.DEBUG)

Other

C#

// shortcut:  dds
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Stop();
Desharp.Debug.Stop();

// shortcut:  ddc
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Configure(Desharp.DebugConfig cfg);
Desharp.Debug.Configure(new Desharp.DebugConfig {
  Enabled = true,
  Depth = 3,
  Directory = "~/logs",
  LogFormat = Desharp.LogFormat.Auto
});

// shortcut:  dda
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Assert(bool assertion, string description = "", Level logLevel = Level.DEBUG);
Desharp.Debug.Assert(
  true,
  ""
);

// shortcut:  ddt
// method:    Desharp.Debug.Timer(string name = null, bool returnTimerSeconds = false, Level logLevel = Level.DEBUG);
Desharp.Debug.Timer("default");

Visual Basic

' shortcut:   dds
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Stop()
Desharp.Debug.Stop()

' shortcut:   ddc
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Configure(cfg As Desharp.DebugConfig)
Desharp.Debug.Configure(New Desharp.DebugConfig With {
  .Enabled = true,
  .Depth = 3,
  .Directory = "~/logs",
  .LogFormat = Desharp.LogFormat.Auto
})

' shortcut:   dda
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Assert(
'               assertion As Boolean, Optional description As String = "", 
'               Optional logLevel As Level = Level.DEBUG
'             )
Desharp.Debug.Assert(
  True,
  ""
)

' shortcut:   ddt
' method:     Desharp.Debug.Timer(
'               Optional name As String = Nothing, 
'               Optional returnTimerSeconds As Boolean = False, 
'               Optional logLevel As Level = Level.DEBUG
'             )
