Disable CodeRush

I don't want to uninstall code rush. I just want to have the chance ti turn it off when I dont want it.

Is this possible? (express version)...

A: 

In Visual Studio, choose Tools | Add-in Manager...

Dosn't work for me. I get DXCore but if I disable start up checkbox it makes no difference when I restart.

Now that is damn strange... It should work. (I'll admit it's a *little* heavy handed) ... but it should work fine. I'll admit I'm rather confused.

+1  A: 

Shift Ctrl Alt O brings up CR's options dialog - not sure if there's something useful in the Xpress version though.

(In the Pro, the DevExpress menu has a "Unload" option)

Ruben Bartelink
I have the unload option in express as well. Just hadn't noticed it!
AJM
This confuses me a little... Where do you have the unload menu? Or was this after you enabled the DevExpres menu?

+7  A: 

First you should turn on the "DevExpress" menu. This is hidden by default in CodeRush Xpress.

See this blogpost http://www.coderjournal.com/2009/08/show-coderush-xpress-9-2-menu-in-visual-studio/

Once this is done you should be able to use the Unload/Load menu option (Last item on DevExpress menu)

Additionally you can set CodeRush Xpress to not load fully by default..


Follow these steps to get to the Startup options page:

  1. From the DevExpress menu, select "Options...".
  2. In the tree view on the left, navigate to this folder:

    Core

  3. Select the "Startup" options page. This page level is Expert, and will only be visible if the Level combo on the lower-left of the Options dialog is set to Expert.


Once on this page, you can toggle the "Load Manually" setting to dictate how CodeRush starts.

+1: Amusingly, someone just +1'd my answer *after* this was posted without +1ing this!
Ruben Bartelink
This works. I noticed that when I set it not to load to get it back I had to go to Tools->Add In Manager and select DXCore to get the menu back.
AJM
Ruben that was me! I was just looking at the answers one at a time!

@AJM: Not that I'm not grateful for the +1, y'understand! I'll overlook you accepting Rory's arguably more complete answer in this instance :P
Ruben Bartelink
@AJM AFAIK if you disable using Addin Manager, that will superceed everything else. However it will require a restart to take effect. Once Enabled again in Addin Manager, then DXCore is loaded, but defers to the "Load Manually" setting to decide if to Load CodeRush... or something like that :) I do not work for DevExpress. I simple play with CodeRush.... a lot .... Yeah ok way too much to be healthy :D
Rory Becker
A +1 from me too, good job.
