Added two actions to repeat the last operations (refactoring or navigation)

April 19th, 2012 Comments off

There are two actions added to repeat the last operations:

  1. SmartTagExecuteLast – executes the last code or refactoring provider performed. This one is useful is you’d like to apply a specific refactoring several times in a row. The default shortcut for this action is Ctrl+Alt+Y (inspired by the Redo operation shortcut – Ctrl+Y).
  2. NavigateLast – executes the last navigation provider. Useful for navigating forward and backward using the specific navigation provider. For this action, there’s no default shortcut yet – if you have any ideas, please share them in the Comments section to this post.

CodeRush Unit Test Runner shortcuts and actions

CodeRush Unit Test Runner has a set of predefined shortcuts useful for running and debugging unit test cases inside Visual Studio. All shortcuts are easy to remember: they start from a general Ctrl+T keystroke (where T means Testing) followed by a second key which specifies the operation, for example:

  • DDebug
  • FFile run test cases
  • PProject run test cases
  • SSolution run test cases
  • and so on…

How to add new menu entries to specific Visual Studio dropdown or context menus

May 3rd, 2011 Comments off

Adding a new menu entry can be easily achieved using the Action DXCore control. Just set the ParentMenu property to the name of the menu, where you would like the new item to appear. As an alternative, you can set the CommonMenu to one of the suggested values. The CommonMenu property has the DevExpress.CodeRush.Menus.VSCommonBar enumeration type, which enumerates most of common Visual Studio menu names, such as File, Edit, View, Tools, DevExpress, Help, etc.

Reorganization of the code is a great practice to improve code readability. If you prefer to sort your type members like this:

class {
private fields
constructors
public properties
public methods
private methods
}

or any other order, you can use the Member Organizer CodeRush plug-in for this purpose.
