The Create Descendant and Create Descendant (with virtual overrides) CodeRush code providers are now available not only on the type declaration but on any reference to a type inside source code, for example:
It allows to create derived classes without navigating to the declaration of the ancestor class.

An options page for type declarations positioning has been introduced. You can change the target position for classes, structures and interfaces created by CodeRush code generation code providers:

Unlike the local variable declarations, fields are simply variables that are declared directly within the code block of a class or a structure. Fields are declared in the type block by specifying the access level of the field, the type of the field and the name of the field. A field may also include a readonly modifier. This type of field can only have its value set directly in its declaration or from within a constructor of its containing class.

Local variable declarations are the most often used types of declarations in code. A local variable is a type of variable declared by local variable declaration inside a block the variable is intended to be local to. The local variable declaration explicitly defines the type of the variable that has been declared along with the identifier that names the variable. You can also declare implicitly typed local variables, whose type is inferred by the compiler from the expression.

An enumeration type is a special set of related constants, each with an integer value. Enumerations are useful for defining states and sequences, particularly when there is a natural progression through those states. Each constant in the enumeration list can be compared and formatted using either its name or value. For example, assume that you have to define a variable whose value will represent a day of the week. There are only seven meaningful values which that variable will ever store. To define those values, you can use an enumeration type.

Declare Struct code provider generates a structure for the current type reference to a non-existent type. If the type reference on the editor caret creates a new instance of a non-existent type that takes some arguments, the appropriate constructor is generated for the new structure:

CodeRush Xpress includes powerful features to intelligently declare types (classes, structures, interfaces), members, fields, local variables and so much more.
This feature automates the very common task of checking the parameters to a method, to make sure that all have been initialized. Having all the parameter values checked for initialization in one place at the top of the method body results in clearer code . This also allows you to provide a centralized response to invalid parameter values, if needed.
