Review Quantum Whale editor..
[this honestly was unsolicited.. I can’t believe I missed this gem amongst the upgrade notices that I periodically get..]
Several years ago, I somehow was given a license to Quantum Whale’s Editor.Net. It was part of one a “freebie” program that a tools catalog that I used. Since that time I have been getting a free updates. Today on a whim I decided to take a look at the product (it only took me 4 years I think).
All I can say is wow! I knew it was an editor component (and now so do you), but I figured .Net 1.1 with...

CodeRush/Refactor Pro refactors Javascript too
I just saw an article talking about a new Ruby product from JetBrains. One of the side effects of this product is that they offer refactoring support for JS code. <yawn />
I had to chuckle a bit. I guess my love affair with the Developer Express’ Code Rush/Refactor Pro (CR/RP) addin continues to pay off… I’ve had refactorings for JavaScript AND HTML/ASP.NET markup for about a year (and they added it a long time ago). If you didn’t know that… now you do (they keep finding new places to add refactorings… it seems like nearly every file in your...

Data and Services With Silverlight 2 review...
[First of all THIS is my 500th post... nothing more to say there... except that it took me a lot longer than many of my blogging heroes, but this is the pace I have to take and not have lousy content... and yes, sometimes I’ve blogged too often and proved that too often for me == lousy content] So last night I finished "Data and Services With Silverlight 2" by John Papa. You may be wondering how I could have finished this book since it hasn’t been published. Well, I’m a tech reviewer for the book. I had a...

CR/R! Wrap up
It’s been about a month since I took the challenge to replace ReSharper (R#) with Code Rush/Refactor! Pro (CR/R!). In that time I have adjusted well to CR/R!. There are a number of areas where I am MORE productive. Yep, I said that. There are a few things I miss (So Mark of DevExpress pay attention). Code Analysis could improve Code Analysis is a fairly new feature of CR/R! and as one would expect it’s not quite as strong as R#'s (I do expect this to get better, BTW). Sometimes it doesn’t find references to ASP.NET Server Controls...

Review: Gurock SmartInspect
About a year ago, I was blogging at CodeBetter and I was given a product in hopes that I would review it. In fact I had won a copy of this product in the past. I promised and promised that I would take a look at it, but I never got around to it. Mainly because I didn’t have a use (or thought I didn’t have a use) for a logging product at the time. Logging isn’t really all that "sexy" and I was trying to dive deep into all kinds of things. Well, with my day job...

Core Addin Challenge: 2 weeks with CodeRush/Refactor Pro (CR/R!)
[As previously mentioned I have committed to switching from ReSharper (R#) to CR/R!... the end result will be a regular guy’s comparison of the 2. DISCLAIMER: By no means is this meant to be a slight on R#, but more of me looking at CR/R! a little closer -- I think a number of us took a cursory look at CR/R! and while we found value a surface look doesn’t really give you the full picture... I’m going through the challenges of using CR/R! because it IS different from R# and hopefully I can help folks who are trying to...

Core Addin Challenge : Hello CodeRush/Refactor Pro
[Disclaimer: Before I start this series I want you all to know that I love Resharper! It has made me a better developer, and if you pay attention you will see why I think that. At the same time I love Dev Express. As a company they are constantly giving back to the community. While I’m not a fan of Mark Miller’s humor, their addin framework is about the best you will find IMO... and Scott Hanselman (ScottHa from here on) loves CodeRush/Refactor. I love ScottHa; he has shown me all kinds of cools utility that I couldn’t live without......
