With the recent (finally!) release of the RTM of the various Visual Studio productivity tools from DevExpress, its now possible for me to provide binaries of most of my plugins recompiled to run against the latest version of the DXCore API.
Although all of these plugins are open source and thus its easy for anyone to [...]
I’ve really been trying to hold off on bothering to release updated binaries of several of my Visual Studio plugins until the next release of the underlying DexExpress platform (DXCore, etc.) reaches RTM. Just about every Beta, RC, etc. release invalidates the prior binaries of my plugins and requires a recompilation before they will work [...]
As usual, when an update to the DevExpress CodeRush/DXCore/Refactor!Pro tools are released, I make updated binaries for several plugins available from this site as a convenience to others. Since the 2009.3.2 release was just posted, here are the accompanying binaries for this latest build:
DX Source Outliner
CR ClassCleaner
CR ClassCleaner + Refactor ClassCleaner Menu
Refactor [...]
Its that time again: DevExpress has released the 2009.3 2009.2.9 update to their Visual Studio Productivity Tools. This means the need to acquire updates for most plugins that have been compiled against the latest DXCore/CodeRush/Refactor! Pro assemblies.
As a convenience to others, here is the updated CR_ClassCleaner plugin…

I have also updated the binaries for [...]
One of these days, I swear I will discover just what it is that is the ‘trigger’ within each update to their IDE products released by Developer Express that results in plug-ins compiled against prior versions not working with the newly-released versions until recompiled against the latest release. No, really, I will figure it out [...]
This is the last in a series of posts here and here about my design ideas for re-engineering the DX_SourceOutliner to improve its design as well as increase its flexibility and extensibility for the future.
Observed Theme 4: Analysis of Code Element Metadata
The .NET WinForms TreeNode class provides a node.Tag property of type object, the intended [...]
This is the second in a series of posts about my thoughts on my redesign of the DX_SourceOutliner Visual Studio DXCore-based plugin that started here.
Observed Theme 3: Decision Logic is (Mostly) Driven by User Options
As mentioned, one of the very serious growing problems with the present design of the DX_SourceOutliner is that of decentralized decision [...]
Just a quick post to mention to readers that I have just released v1.3 of the DX_SourceOutliner for download here. Even as I’m in the midst of the redesign of the guts of the application as mentioned here and in other related posts, bug-fixes and minor tweaks to capabilities within the existing 1.x branch continue [...]
In a past post, I mentioned that I am in the process of declaring ‘Technical Bankruptcy’ on my DX_SourceOutliner project. I wanted to share some of my thoughts on what’s wrong with the present approach to the design and what new ideas I have to try to address the problems. As mentioned in my prior [...]
Anyone who has done any appreciative work in software engineering is familiar with one of the most challenging aspects of Software Development: the realization that software engineering isn’t fundamentally really about building so much as it is about discovering. We are taught for long periods in our careers (either implicitly through the language we use [...]
