I use this addin extensively. Support is also exemplary:Version 1.31, and earlier, had a bug which broke operation Visual Studio 2012/2010 dependent files. For example, if I had a *.tt file used in Entity Framework, with V1.31 installed and enabled, clicking on a file under the T4 parent did not display the file, just the tab, and would often crash VS. Disabling the comments extender fixed the problem. Please resolve this. Thank you! Hi, CodeSMART for VS.NET - Complete Add-ins and Extensions for VS.NET. This page contains a brief presentation illustrating the main features CodeSMART 10 with VS10x Extensions adds to Visual Studio 2013/2012/2010. 1.1. General Integration Notes CodeSMART is tightly integrated with Visual Studio - all its commands and tools are accessible through the main menu and four toolbars it adds to the environment, as well as from the code window popup menu.
Other CodeSMART tools are hosted or display their results within special tool windows - for example, pictured below are the 'VS10x CodeMap' and the CodeSMART 'Find and Replace 1' windows. The CodeSMART main menu contents: 2.1. CodeMap Have a look at the small sample below. Containers can be collapsed in order to help you stay focused on items that are currently in development. CodeMap is also a navigational tool - if you double-click an item, its position in code will be brought into view. Now, highlighting recently accessed items may be good, but what if you have items you return to over and over? 2.2. 2.3. 2.4. VS10x Code Map v2. Great tool! Thanks for fixing both things! I really appreciate it. ------------------Original text:------------------ I just wish it wouldn't open this page on every update.
EDIT 2014-01-30: I know I don't speak for everybody, but I think there are two problems that people have with the weekly updates: 1. . #1 is something only Microsoft can address.#2, however, is something you can address. Personally I dislike it when extensions in any app put up a "new update" page (there are several Firefox/Chrome extensions that do the same thing, and it's just as annoying there).
I would recommend ditching the page-launch-on-install and keeping the collapsible (as it is not as obtrusive and is easy to collapse), or at least provide options to disable those. Thanks again for making a great product! # Chris. Creating Custom StyleCop Rules in C# Microsoft has released a new free static code analysis tool called StyleCop. Named after the similar FxCop, this product is aimed to be more focused for cosmetic code consistency which can increase readability and maintainability. StyleCop has built-in rules, which you can turn off, many of which are: Ordering of members in a class from most visible to least visibleOrder of Usings in alphabetical order, with System namespaces on topProper camel casing and pascal casingProper whitespace I like about 3/4 of these rules so I think it's definitely worth considering using, even consider integrating into your automated build process using NAnt, CruiseControl or TFS.
That being said many will likely want to extend these rules to create your own. First I created a C# Class assembly project and referenced "Microsoft.StyleCop" and "Microsoft.StyleCop.CSharp".
