Turbo Charge Visual Studio with DevExpress CodeRush

摘要

In the September issue of Visual Studio Magazine, we reviewed JetBrains ReSharp-er, a Visual Studio add-in that provides a full range of developer productivity tools. This month, we look at another productivity-boosting tool for .NET developers: DevExpress CodeRush 9.2, which includes the powerful Refactor! Pro tools from Developer Express Inc. (DevExpress).rnCodeRush adds several new navigation features to Visual Studio, some of which you'll use once or twice a day, and others you'll use dozens of times in an hour. My favorite feature could be the "next issue" function, which lets you cycle through problem areas in your code with just two keystrokes. But the feature I might use most could be CodeRushs ability to complete If statements for me. I type in the If keyword, enter a test, and finish the statement by hitting the Enter key. CodeRush not only finishes the statement, but moves my mouse to the interior of the new If block.
