I could have used this hundreds of time in Visual Studio.

We often process messages with hundreds of fields. So I will have a class from specs (usually excel) with a number of properties, then I need a method to populate each of those from some other object, then I need a method that does the reverse - populates some other object from the properties.

This happens over and over for us. Typically I just use a Notepad++ macro. But I could probably use this as it stands, just having it in visual studio would be really incredible.




Install a vim emulator inside of Visual Studio, then use macros.
