Pattern Catalog - Can not parse pattern

Hello Jakub,

At the moment Search with pattern works on member body level only, so 'private
Guid $VARNAME$;' is not a valid pattern. A valid pattern would be any statement
or expression that can be found in a member body. Thank you!

Each time I run into a good application of Pattern Catalog, I end up
not being able to create the pattern correctly. I usually only get the
"Can not parse pattern" message. Why is there no further description
of the error?

Even simple pattern like this will not pass:

Search:

private Guid $COMPONENTGUID$;

Replace:

private Guid $COMPONENTGUID$;

+ i added identifier placeholder COMPONENTGUID

(I know the pattern does not do anything, but why it can't be parsed?)

Well, I am using the following search and replace pattern and it works fine

public $TYPE$ $IDENTIFIER$
{
get { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
set { throw new NotImplementedException(); }
}


public $TYPE$ $IDENTIFIER$
{
get;
set;
}

and it is obviously not a part of member body.

Are there any enhancements of pattern catalog ahead?

Well, there is a limited support for some specific cases :)
