in a recent request for the Proteus Project, a user asked about defining test-related settings in external .config files to control connection strings settings, the location(s) of support files like the serialized dataset xml data files and the dataset xsd schema files, and possibly other things. While it might be of value to ‘formalize’ this [...]
For those of you who missed out on the first NYC Agile Firestarter that the NY ALT.NET User Group and the NY .NET User Group jointly organized in June of 2009, I just wanted to announce that there is a ‘sister’ event coming soon to the Central NJ Area: The Central NJ .NET Agile Firestarter! [...]
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.

In this recent post I mentioned that in response to the recent release of updated versions of Developer Express’ Visual Studio productivity tools (2009.2.6), I was not only providing an updated build of the CR_ClassCleaner plug-in compiled against the latest DXCore release, but that I also decided to incorporate the patch to CR_ClassCleaner mentioned in [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
