GUID + VS2012 + R#

Sometimes really small features that are implemented in add-ins can make developer feel happy. This small features can speed up software development process.

Last time I had to prepare an application installer – I have chosen WiX. In this solution you need to add to each element in installer GUID.

Hopefully I am using R# with Visual Studio 2012. And the R# generates GUIDs out of the box. You only need to enter [mark]nguid[/mark], press [mark]tab[/mark] button and choose proper format.

Dawno dawno temu miałem przyjemność pracować z Sharepointem 🙂
Guid, guida, guidem tam wszytko pogania. Podobny dodatek do VS-a generujący Guidy okazał się wybawieniem.
