• CodeRush Template Deep Dive - Thursday 10am PDT, 17:00 GMT

  This webinar will provide a brief overview of existing CodeRush template technology followed by a deep dive behind-the-scenes look at how CodeRush templates are built. Rory and I will show how to position the caret, select text, call templates from templates, create alternate expansions, and use fields, linked identifiers, context, dynamic lists, TextCommands, and StringProviders -- everything you need to know about exploiting the power of CodeRush templates.

• CodeRush Screenshot of the Week – Test Runner Goodness

  This week’s screenshot, submitted by CodeRush customer Casey Kramer, who likes the CodeRush Test Runner: Casey says: "I dig the unit test runner, and I do TDD whenever I can….here is a view in the “Red” stage of the Red-Green-Refactor cycle.  The graphic elements on the tests themselves are nice too." Congratulations, Casey. Your t-shirt is in the mail! Seen something cool in CodeRush? Take a screenshot and send it to me (markm at the DevExpress domain). If we use your image we’ll send you one of these highly coveted CodeRush Nation t-shirts. Posted Sep 24 2010, 04:31 PM by Mark Miller (DevExpress) with no comments

• CodeRush Screenshot of the Week – Adding Contracts to Methods

  This week’s screenshot, submitted by CodeRush customer Jeff Forrett, who’s a big fan of adding method contracts quickly: Jeff says: "Saving time by generating null exceptions, I like it." Congratulations, Jeff. Your t-shirt is in the mail! Jeff’s screenshot has inspired us to reveal a sneak preview of more chunky goodness, support for .NET 4.0 contracts, coming in CodeRush 10.2: Seen something cool in CodeRush? Take a screenshot and send it to me (markm at the DevExpress domain). If we use your image we’ll send you one of these highly coveted CodeRush Nation t-shirts.

• CodeRush Screenshot of the Week

  One of the things I love about CodeRush is there’s so much depth that sometimes even I forget what we put in there. Here’s an example of a feature I discussed with the devs a while back, but didn’t need until moments ago: Create Event Trigger… With the caret on an event declaration, press the CodeRush/Refactor! key (Ctrl+` by default). I love it when a plan comes together. :-) Seen something amazing in CodeRush? Take a screenshot and send it to me (markm at the DevExpress domain). If we use your photo we’ll send you a killer CodeRush Nation t-shirt. Posted Sep 13 2010, 04:25 PM by Mark Miller (DevExpress) with no comments
