CodeRush – Shared Source Solution
September 22nd, 2010
CodeRush Pro is shipping with a plug-ins sample solution called “Shared Source”. It has several projects with open source plug-ins that are intended for learning plug-ins development using the DXCore framework. This solution is located inside your installation folder, e.g.:
C:\Program Files\DevExpress 2010.1\IDETools\System\CodeRush\SOURCES
You’re welcome to modify and compile the source code as you like.
Here’s the table of plug-ins available with the brief descriptions. Click on the plug-in name for more details, if appropriate.

| CR_DropMarkerBeforeJump | The plug-in listens for the “Edit.GoToDefinition” Visual Studio command, and drops a marker before it is executed, so you can easily to go back once you finish navigation to definitions. | |
