Resharper vs. CodeRush

I know there are many discussions if Resharper or CodeRush is better. At my company we currently use Resharper and I'm fine with it. But last week I watched a screencast about CodeRush and thought it was amazing. There are just so many "new" refactorings that I immediately thought about a migration. What's your favorite tool for refac...

How to jump to a class definition in CodeRush

Just downloaded the CodeRush trial version and I can't easily find the one feature that I really wanted. I would like to be able to start typing a class name and to jump to its definition, sort of like the quick navigator but I want it to search in closed files within my solution as well as open ones. I know R# has that ability, I assu...

What is your single favorite CodeRush feature?

I'm a CodeRush fan (being primarily VB.Net at work Resharper wasn't an option when I started) and am continually amazed by how many features are included.

CodeRush - Export type to file missing?

CodeRush Xpress Colors

I downloaded the free CodeRush Xpress version to try it. Is there a way to change the colors it uses for it's highlighting and line drawing? ie the matching braces.

Is there a GhostDoc like plug-in for CodeRush or ReSharper?

I have noticed that GhostDoc hasn't been updated in a long while. So I am curious if there is a plug-in for Resharper or CodeRush that will accomplish the same thing? Or even if this type of functionality is built in to one of the tools that would be great too. ...

How to surround a code block with a using statement in ReSharper?

I'm watching Stephen A Bohlen's excellent Summer of NHibernate series, and have been watching him interact with CodeRush.

As an example, he demonst...

CodeRush Tricks of the Trade

I was using CodeRush quite while ago and now I'm planning to use it again. I've installed the trial but I forgot all the cool features except Alt + Home (drop a marker). And when you don't know some cool tricks it's really like burning money (since it's not cheap for personal use). What do you like about it? What are your best features?...

Delphi IDE - CodeRush visual "connectors" alternative

I used to work in Delphi 6, and got very used to having CodeRush's various helpful IDE additions. Many are now in the IDE itself, or I've managed to replace with something else, but the one feature I REGULARLY find myself wishing I had in Delphi 2007 still, is the ability CodeRush had that added little "connecting lines" between compone...

Note: I've tried posting on the coderush/devexpress forums and as is usual for that kind of thing, received no response. Hopefully some SO users use coderush express and can possibly help? Hi.

Flatten conditional as a refactoring

Consider: if (something) { // Code... } With CodeRush installed it recommended doing: if (!something) { return; } // Code... Could someone explain how this is better? Surely there is no benefit what so ever. ...

ReSharper VS CodeRush performance

I have seen extensive articles and blogs posts on the comparison, but what about the performance? I am fine with the function of ReSharper but the performance is unbearable. I am willing to change to escape that pitfall, but will I actually be escaping it? I'm not asking anyone to do statistics on a fresh machine, but what is the appr...

Adding custom generic type template to CodeRush

I'm diving into creating my own coderush templates, and I use the auto-property templates heavily. I'd like to add an IList property and auto-property. I started by looking at the implementations of the List (pl.) and it's associated auto-prop (al.). I also looked at the IEnumerable versions for reference. I think I get the general s...

Keyboard Shortcut for Smart Tag in Refactor!

I am trying to get Refactor! for ASP.NET, CodeRush Xpress and Resharper play together. I installed Resharper, then CodeRush Xpress and then Refactor! for ASP.NET.

Visual Studio - Quick way to search for an object's usage in the code behind

In Visual Studio, is there a quick way to search for an object's usage in the code behind? This is something I do constantly and the way I am currently doing it seems a little clunky.
