Experience with Coderush XPress and Visual Studio 2010?

Question

It is possible to use CRX with VS 2010: Can I use CodeRush Xpress in Visual Studio 2010?

Refactor Key works. (After assigning the shortcut)

What doesn\'t work i

Answer 1

VS 2010 replacements for CodeRush XPress features that don't work

Tab to Next Reference

Ctrl + Shift + UP/Down Next reference in current file!

Shift + F12 Find references in all files

Highlight References

done by VS per default

Quick Nav

Alt + F12 for Find Symbol

Quick File Nav

Ctrl + , Navigate To feature of VS (no filter for the Type of search: Classes, Files, Members...)

Ctrl + # type >open then you get auto completion for files

Declare things is done by VS

write sth. VS doesn't know, Ctrl + . create new type

---

I ended up using DPack for navigation (ALT+S, ALT+U...)

Answer 2

Sorry, but the following features are no longer included in CodeRush Xpress for VS 2010. This was a Microsoft requirement, and we (DevExpress) can't violate it.

• Tab to Next Reference
• Highlight References
• Quick Nav

• Quick File Nav

• Declare Method

• Declare Constructor
• Declare Property (auto-implemented)
• Declare Class
• Declare Enum
• Declare Enum Element
• Declare Interface
• Declare Struct
• Declare Field

It looks as if the only thing we can suggest is to install the full CodeRush Pro version if you wish to use these features, sorry.

Answer 3

I've written an extension that provides similar functionality to QuickFileNav.
