[Finally I’ve managed to get the second part of the post on plug-ins. Sorry for the delay to everyone who was waiting. Appreciate your patience. And now I’ll resume my holidays!] In the previous part of this series , we saw the basics of how to create a plug-in for ReSharper , install it...

In a previous post I mentioned how I was going to show you how UppercuT (UC) has the ability to make gems stupid simple to create and publish. You ask if gems can get any easier and to that I answer, “Why YES, they can!” How about just filling out the information for the gemspec, running...

The Ruby community has enjoyed a great user experience with a package management system they use called Gems. A gem is a package (or a library), compressed with some additional metadata, and can be either source files or binaries. Let’s focus on binary gems. We have the same concept in .NET (DLLs...

One of the new features dotCover has added is the ability to find tests that cover a certain piece of code. Something remotely similar has been available in ReSharper , although it has been kind of an archaic solution (i.e. Find Usages on Method calls, locate Test assemblies in Result window). dotCover...

RoundhousE , the database migration software that is based on sql scripts has added support for Oracle and SQL 2000. There have also been numerous other little things, including better logging and a script run errors table. The script errors table captures what went wrong when/if your scripts are...

I mentioned this awhile back on twitter, but UppercuT (UC) has support for Mercurial for versioning your assemblies. In the settings file, all you need to do it tell UC to use hg. When you build your assemblies, they will use the changeset number in the version, and in the informational version, you...

I was excited to hook up my new Hitachi Travelstar 7K500 HD20500 via Firewire to my XPS M1300. Suddenly I was getting a ton of error 51 codes about paging operations failing. I ran a scan of the hard drive and it is healthy. I ran the chkdisk didn’t do it either. This thread recommended switching...

Chuck Norris doesn’t program with a keyboard. He stares the computer down until it does what he wants. All things need a name. We’ve tossed around a bunch of names for the framework of tools we’ve been working on, but one we kept coming back to was Chuck Norris. Why did we choose Chuck Norris...

Yesterday the ReSharper Twitter Account tweeted about a Zen Coding Plug-in available as a PowerToy. If you’re not familiar with Zen Coding, check out this link . I received a couple of emails from people asking about the PowerToys and what exactly they were, and to be honest, I wasn’t really...

I’m starting a new series of blogs posts on profiling, where we’ll try and cover common bottlenecks and how to identify them in your applications. However, before delving deeper into the subject, let me make a small but important observation: Your bottleneck is probably not your for loop...

One thing most database change management tools use is SQL Server Managment Objects (SMO). Most do that because ADO.NET doesn’t allow the batch statement separator keyword GO in sql statements. So most people write off the ability to use a database change tool for sql server without actually...

What if there was a tool out there that could let you specify a structure for a project (visual studio solution + everything else) and save you up to 3+ hours of work every time you started a new project? Warmup was an idea by Dru Sellers to remove all of the setup work required every time you set up...

Although I mentioned briefly in the past some of the new features ASP.NET MVC features ReSharper 5 supports, I thought it would be a good idea to sum up the main ones in a single post and go into a little bit more detail on them. ASP.NET ReSharper ‘s support for ASP.NET is not restricted only to...

ReSharper does a lot of things, but as they say, you can’t please all the people all of the time. However, one the great things about ReSharper is that it is quite extensible and there are already quite a number plug-ins available. Some of the better known ones are: - StyleCop for ReSharper by...

This last year I had a focus to get more involved in Open Source (OSS). The year before I had been involved a little by submitting a patch here and there, but 2009 was a big year for me in OSS. I now manage 4 open source projects that have solved a need for me and others. Coming up on the end of the...
