ReSharper comes with a number of predefined surround templates. You can use them "as is" or customize according to your individual requirements and programming style.

Some templates are parameterized, requiring that you fill in some parameters after the template code is inserted.

Two parameters specified in preview listings are common for most templates:

$SELECTION$ specifies the position of previously selected code within an applied template.
$END$ denotes the position of the caret after a template is applied.

Template name	Description
CType Go to top	Purpose Transforms selection into the first parameter of the CType() function, which is used to explicitly convert VB.NET types. CType($SELECTION$, $TYPE$) Before expansion After expansion Parameters `SELECTION` - selected variable. `TYPE` - type to cast to.
DirectCast Go to top	Purpose Transforms selection into the first parameter of the `DirectCast` function as an alternative way to perform type casts. DirectCast($SELECTION$, $TYPE$) Before expansion After expansion Parameters `SELECTION` - selected variable. `TYPE` - type to cast to.
If Go to top	Purpose Puts selection into the statement block following `Then` in an `If-Then` construct. If $END$ Then $SELECTION$ End If Before expansion After expansion Parameters `SELECTION` - selected code. `END` - position of the caret after applying the template, helping you specify a condition.
If..Else Go to top	Purpose Puts selection into the statement block following `Then` in an `If-Then-Else` construct. If $COND$ Then $SELECTION$ Else $END$ End If Before expansion After expansion Parameters `SELECTION` - selected code. `COND` - condition of the construct. `END` - position of the caret after applying the template, helping you insert code into the `Else` block.
namespace Go to top	Purpose Wraps selection into a namespace. Namespace $END$ $SELECTION$ End Namespace Before expansion After expansion Parameters `SELECTION` - selected code. `END` - position of the caret after applying the template, helping you specify an identifier for the new namespace.
SyncLock Go to top	Purpose Transforms selection into the statement block of a `SyncLock` statement. SyncLock $END$ $SELECTION$ End SyncLock Before expansion After expansion Parameters `SELECTION` - selected block of statements. `END` - position of the caret after applying the template, helping you type an expression to be evaluated. In some cases, you might want to apply this template without making a selection.
TryCast Go to top	Purpose Wraps selection with a cast expression that doesn't throw exceptions. TryCast($SELECTION$, $TYPE$) Before expansion After expansion Parameters `SELECTION` - selected variable. `TYPE` - type to cast to.
Using Go to top	Purpose Puts selection into a `using` statement. Using $END$ $SELECTION$ End Using Before expansion After expansion Parameters `SELECTION` - selected code. `END` - position of the caret after applying the template, helping you specify resources that should be obtained with the `using` statement.
