We published new Beta build of CodeIt.Right - added new rule, a number of UI improvements and bug fixes. Give it a try.

We will be rather quiet for two weeks - Misha is traveling up here to Seattle for the Microsoft MVP Global Summit. We both will be busy with the Summit and events around it. Misha is very excited about the trip - this is his first time in Seattle and United States. We both will take few days off and go ski at Crystal Mount. We've worked hard getting CodeIt.Right Beta out and certainly going to enjoy the time off - just to rejuvenate before we jump on the next set of improvements :)

That doesn't mean we will go incommunicado - there will be no new CodeIt.Right builds for two weeks that's all. We are leaving two developers in the shop and Stuart as usually will be on the top of the support issues. I will make sure I follow up on support cases at least every other day.

Changes in build 1.0.07066:

  • ADDED: Progress window for parsing code, loading references and running code analysis
  • ADDED: Progress window the Correct Checked operation
  • FIXED: Disabled Naming rules for ASPX type names
  • FIXED: Issue with concurrent access when caching references
  • FIXED: Resolved issues when CodeIt.Right installed under an Andministator account and used under a User or Restricted User account
  • ADDED: SkipOnCheckAll propery to the IRule interface (for Custom Rules)
  • ADDED: Text description to most of the toolbar buttons
  • IMPROVED: Unhandled exception logging
  • FIXED: "NullReferenceException" when the "Show Analysis Window" toolbar button clicked
  • ADDED: Separate tree branch in New Project/New Item for CodeIt.Right Custom Rule Library and Wizard in VS2003 and VS2005
  • CHANGED: Excluded modifier "Extern" in most rules in built-in profile
  • ADDED: New rule "DoNotRethrowExceptionsExplicitly"
  • FIXED: Bug in the "DoNotRaiseReservedExceptionTypes" rule
  • other fixes

New build of CodeIt.Right Beta is available for download

Change list:

  • IMPROVED: Windows Vista compatibility. CodeIt.Right still requires you run VS2005 "As Administrator" but so is VS2005 itself. We all hope that expected soon VS2005 SP1 update for Vista will help to address the Vista issues for Visual Studio
  • FIXED: Now compatible with 64 bit versions of Windows.
  • ADDED: Auto-generated Designer.cs and Designer.vb files are now ignored
  • FIXED: Rule "Types that own disposable fields should be disposable" ignores static classes
  • FIXED: setup doesn't run "devenv.exe /setup" - install/uninstall speed improved, resolves issues related to resetting 3rd-party VS Add-In custom settings and re-enabling disabled Add-Ins.

We are still working on the memory use optimization.

NOTE: Please take a look at the Flash presentations as they help to understand CodeIt.Right better.

Build 1.0.07040 can be downloaded here - http://submain.com/download/codeit.right

Mike Gunderloy posted a nice review of CodeIt.Once on Larkware. Mike writes:

"These [refactorings] are all hooked into the user interface though the main menus, the shortcut menus in the code editor, and as appropriate in other spots - for example, you can get to Reorder Parameters from the Object Browser shortcut menu when you have a method selected. One nice thing about CodeIt.Once compared to other refactoring products that I've tried is that the learning curve is very gentle. Every refactoring uses a wizard mode by default, where a step-by-step dialog box walks you through what the refactoring does and helps you make the appropriate choices along the way. For example, the Extract Method wizard offers advice on choosing good method names and reminds you to use Pascal casing on the name, and then provides a user interface to let you name and order parameters. When you're a little more comfortable, you can suppress the introductory screens on the wizards. As a final step, you can opt to dispense with the wizards entirely (on a refactoring by refactoring basis) and operate in expert mode, where invoking a refactoring opens a dialog box that prompts you for just the necessary information."

Thanks for the thorough review, Mike!

The VS2005 Extensibility Model is quite a bit different from VS2003 so PrettyCode.Print for .NET was split into two downloads - PrettyCode.Print for .NET (VS2003) and PrettyCode.Print for VS2005 (well, VS2005 :)

Although there are two separate executables to install, PCP.NET is still one product and your v1 serial number will work with both v1.5 versions.

PrettyCode.Print for .NET - standalone version will only open VS2003 projects/solutions and Add-In will work in VS2003.

PrettyCode.Print for VS2005 - standalone version will open both VS2005 and VS2003 projects/solutions. The Add-In will work in VS2005

We have released a new version of PrettyCode.Print for .NET v1.5 - support for VS2005, code regions, preprocess expressions and more..

PrettyCode.Print for .NET v1.5 is free update to our current PCP.NET v1 customers.

What's New in PCP.NET v1.5

We have listened to your feedback and have done a number of improvements to PCP.NET v1.

New Features in v1.5 (build 1.5.163):

  • Support for Visual Studio 2005, VB 8.0 and C# 2.0.
  • Added support for code regions - you can now filter your selection by regions
  • Added support for preprocess expressions
  • Persisting project selection info on reload/refresh and between sessions - will save you time when you print a project often
  • Syntax highlighted snippet area in the project selection window - long time requested feature is here. Makes the code snippet look much nicer and easier to read too.
