Modes

Mode - Convert

• Converts all Contract.Requires to "if(!x) throw new ArgumentException()" pattern at the beginning of method/property/constructor.
• Converts all Contract.Ensures to "if(!x) throw new InvalidOperationException()" pattern before each return incide method/property/constructor.
• Converts all Contract.Assert and Contract.Assume to "if(!x) throw new ArgumentException()" pattern.
• Invokes invariant methods before each return incide method/property/constructor.
• Preserves all other Contract invocations (including Attributes and Contract classes).
• Removes CodeContract properties and constants from project files

#### Mode - Remove

• Removes any Contract invocations.
• Invariant methods are preserved
• Attributes and Contract classes are removed
• Removes CodeContract properties and constants from project files

Mode - Stats

• Collects statistics about how Contracts are used. Example of result:

[ContractClassFor]                                	  1
[ContractInvariantMethod]                         	  2
Contract.Assert                                   	  1
Contract.Ensures                                  	  6
Contract.Invariant                                	  2
Contract.Requires                                 	  6
Contract.Result                                   	  5

Annotation modes

In Convert mode Jet Brains annotations ([NotNull]) can be added to class members. Jet Brains annotations are added using JetBrains.Annotations NuGet package.

Mode - None

Don't add annotations

Mode - Add

Include annotations only for work in Visual Studio/Rider before compilation. When project is compiled, annotations would be removed. When dll is referenced into other project, Rider/Re# wouldn't show hints. This mode is recommended for applications. Read more on Jet Brains site.

Mode - IncludeIntoBinaries

Annotations will be included into binaries, so Rider/Re# would show hints before and after compilation (when binary is referenced into other project). This mode is recommended for packages. Read more on Jet Brains site.
