Hi all,

I'm wondering if you how you organize your class code:

Do you sort/ group by member type: fields, methods, properties etc.?
If yes: what ordering scheme do yo use?

Do you group members by visibility - and how does that relate to grouping by type?

Where do you insert (nested) types such as enums and delegates in classes
and namespaces? any order?, top, bottom grouped by type?

The reason I ask is that I'm implementing a sorting / rearrange algorithm
in ModelMaker Code Explorer for C# classes and namespaces.

Check for details on ModelMaker Code Explorer:

Thanks for your feedback,

Visiblility and ordered by Fields, Methods then Properties.
Constructors are always at the top.

I also enclose each in #region directives e.g.

class SomeClass {
  #region Public Constructors
  public SomeClass(){}
  #endregion

  #region Private Members
  private string mSomeStr;
  #endregion

  #region Public Methods
  public void DoSomething(){}
  #endregion

  #region Public Properties
  public string SomeStr {get {return mSomeStr;} set {mSomeStr = value;}}
  #endregion
}

At the top of the relative visibility section.

Oops, I tell a lie. The ordering is fields, properties then methods.

I tend to use the same sorts of groupings as I'm comfortable with in
Delphi

Fields, properties, methods (constructors are the first methods),
organised within each visibility level.

And I never use alphabetical order for anything. Related properties are
grouped together, same for methods.

Top
