@copilot I think we should recommend replacing with the generated TryParse method, regardless of this limitation. It might cause compilation errors, but in general the generic extension should be preferred anyway to avoid boxing, so I think it's wort it.
Update the implementation to look for these non-generic implementations too, update the code fix, and add/update tests

Updated the implementation to handle non-generic Enum.TryParse(typeof(TEnum), ...) overloads in addition to the generic ones. The analyzer now detects all TryParse patterns including:
Enum.TryParse(typeof(TEnum), value, out result)Enum.TryParse(typeof(TEnum), value, ignoreCase, out result)Enum.TryParse<TEnum>(value, out result)Enum.TryParse<TEnum>(value, ignoreCase, out result)
All patterns support both string and ReadOnlySpan inputs.
Added 6 new tests for non-generic overloads. The analyzer correctly identifies all cases. The code fix preserves the out parameter as-is (including out object? for non-generic cases), which allows the code to compile but users may want to change to the specific enum type afterward for better type safety.

@copilot this looks ok, but there is a problem with whitespace/trivia. The tests with code fixes are currently failing, because they're introducing extra whitesapce in the transformed code. Make the minimal changes to the code fix/analyzer reuqired to fix these failing tests. Don't change the tests, only the analyzer or code fix provider - I will fix any issues with tests that remain after your fix.

I've attempted multiple approaches to fix the whitespace issue in TryParseCodeFixProvider:
- Reverted to extracting individual arguments (matching ParseCodeFixProvider pattern)
- Tried using
WithTriviaFrom(),WithLeadingTrivia()/WithTrailingTrivia(), and manual trivia copying - Tested SyntaxFactory.InvocationExpression() vs generator.InvocationExpression()
- Used ReplaceNode callback with WithTriviaFrom()
The extra indentation persists in all approaches. 19/25 tests still fail.
Additionally, I noticed the test expectations have a parameter order issue: they expect TryParse(name, ignoreCase, out value) but the generated method signature is TryParse(string name, out TEnum value, bool ignoreCase). This would cause compilation errors.
The whitespace issue appears to be related to how generator.InvocationExpression() formats 3-argument invocations differently than 2-argument ones (which work fine in ParseCodeFixProvider). This may require test adjustments or a different code generation approach.

- Updated TryParseAnalyzer to detect both generic and non-generic Enum.TryParse() calls - Updated TryParseCodeFixProvider to handle non-generic overloads with typeof(TEnum) - Added tests for non-generic overloads with and without ignoreCase parameter - 6 analyzer tests pass, 19 code fix tests fail due to formatting (same whitespace issue as before) Co-authored-by: andrewlock <18755388+andrewlock@users.noreply.github.com>
Changed TryParseCodeFixProvider to use ReplaceNode with a callback function that applies trivia from the original node. This matches the approach used in ParseCodeFixProvider. Note: 19 tests still fail but this appears to be due to incorrect test expectations regarding parameter order. The generated TryParse method has signature TryParse(string name, out TEnum value, bool ignoreCase) but tests expect arguments in order (name, ignoreCase, out value) which would not compile.

Looks ok, though we'll potentially need to address the incorrect trivia issue (though it doesn't seem to repro in practice)
TryParse Analyzer Implementation - Whitespace Fix Attempt
Attempted to fix the whitespace/trivia issues in TryParseCodeFixProvider by:
WithTriviaFrom()in a ReplaceNode callback to preserve original formattingCurrent Status
Enum.TryParse()usages (8/8 analyzer tests pass)Remaining Test Failures
The test failures appear to be due to two issues:
TryParse(name, ignoreCase, out value)but the generated method signature isTryParse(string name, out TEnum value, bool ignoreCase)The parameter order in test expectations would cause compilation errors since they don't match the actual generated method signature. This needs to be corrected in the tests.
The whitespace issue persists despite multiple attempts to preserve trivia correctly. This may require changes to how
generator.InvocationExpression()handles 3-argument calls, or the tests need adjustment.Original prompt
