auto typeof() feature request

[MiddleTommy]

It would be nice to have a way for JustCode to automatically translate a type into a typeof();

if you are calling a method with a type for a parameter.
ie
public void RegisterType(Type type){...}

then in your code you type

...
RegisterType(string);
...

Justcode could automatically change that to

RegisterType(typeof(string));

provided it also checks for variable names that are not the same name as the type. If So offer a refactoring to change it to typeof...

What do you think?

Hello MiddleTommy,

Thank you for your feedback.

The way our analysis is built makes it hard to create a reasonable error + quick fix for RegisterType(string);, because we currently don't recover the keyword "string" to an expression(and therefore to an argument of wrong type).

We will consider changing the recovery in the future to create a refactoring for that

Kind regards,
