Question

I have a StringUtilities.cs file in the CommonFunctions Project that holds a UppercaseFirst function that Uppercases the first word in a string. Currently in the .aspx.cs in a separate Project (in the same Solution) that is utilizing this function is called using MyProject.CommonFunctions.StringUtilities.UppercaseFirst(‘hello world’);

Is it possible to shorten it to just UppercaseFirst(‘hello world’); ? Readability will be so much better.

StringUtilities.cs in the CommonFunctions Project:

namespace MyProject.CommonFunctions {     public class StringUtilities     {         public static string UppercaseFirst(string s)         {//blah code}     } } 

Default.aspx.cs

using MyProject.CommonFunctions; ... protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {      MyProject.CommonFunctions.StringUtilities.UppercaseFirst('hello world'); } 

Answer 1

You can’t cut it all the way down to just the method name, but given that you’ve already got the using MyProject.CommonFunction; line in place, you could shorten it to:

StringUtilities.UppercaseFirst('hello world');
