An IDE Enhancement Add-In by Developer Express

Today, software users are demanding more from software engineers. The pressure to deliver more features with higher quality in less time has never been greater. Furthermore, as the complexity of software systems increase, so do the challenges confronting developers. These challenges include a greater number of tedious tasks that consume precious time which tend to erode creativity and productivity. Developer Express created CodeRush for VS .NET to help developers and managers meet these increased demands for quality and functionality, by boosting productivity while eliminating tedium.


CodeRush for Visual Studio® .NET is 100% managed code and fully integrated within the IDE itself. Once released, it will ship with advanced code crafting tools, to help you write code as quickly as you can conceive it, to harness the power of your imagination and to take control of your source.


It will help you create sophisticated code blocks in seconds and extend code templates instantly. CodeRush will complete identifiers as you type and expand or contract selections logically. With CodeRush, you will be able to instantly place selected code inside Try/Catch blocks, Regions and your own custom wrappers with ease. You can even reverse the logic of selected code and revisit important points within your code instantly (and effortlessly swap between locations).


CodeRush includes many powerful templates, but perhaps the most powerful CodeRush feature is the ability to build your own in seconds. If that is not enough, every single CodeRush feature is implemented as a plug-in using a common interface called the RushAPI the fastest, most powerful way to extend Visual Studio® - guaranteed!
