Now that its mature enough (e.g., ‘functional’!) I just wanted everyone to know that I have moved the source code for the Refactor_UpdateNamespace add-in over to the DXCoreCommunityPlugIns site on Google Code.
If you’re unfamiliar with this site (and a user of CodeRush, Refactor! Pro, or CodeRushXpress), you should really check it out. Its chock full [...]
I’ve recently become slowly more aware that its starting to take me longer and longer to respond to people who contact me, look into resolving issues that people bring to my attention, complete tasks within deadlines that I’ve committed to, and otherwise meet my obligations to others.
As I started to think about why this might [...]
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.

The .NET WinForms TreeNode class provides a node.Tag property of type object, the intended [...]
Developer Express has just released the ‘2009.2.5’ version of their IDE Productivity Tools, CodeRush, Refactor! Pro, CodeRushXpress, and DXCore.
Just about every time this happens, there’s a need to recompile many (but, interestingly - for reasons I cannot entirely explain – not all!) DXCore-dependent plugins to expose themselves properly within the newly-released DXCore runtime.

I have just been advised that the 2009.2 release of the Developer Express IDE Productivity tools (CodeRush, Refactor! Pro, DXCore, and CodeRushXpress) has been made available for download from the DevExpress website.
This means that a) you should go update your running version of these tools ASAP if you are an adopter of any of these [...]
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 [...]
For those of you interested in using my DXCore Refactor_UpdateNamespace plugin (see here and here for more details) but hampered by the fact that prior releases supported only C# and not VB.NET, you will be happy to know that a new version is now available for download that corrects this limitation.
Two Properties, Same Concept, [...]
Yesterday I announced the release of v1.0 of the DXCore plugin as described in this post. Almost immediately upon its release, someone pointed out a pretty embarrassing bug that I had apparently failed to test for: the plugin only replaced the portion of the existing namespace string that fell between pairs of periods (”.”) rather [...]
