I’m a big fan of ReSharper (despite the fact that I still haven’t mastered all of the commands and shortcuts) and the features it brings to code editing in Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. When you see people like Jean Paul Boodhoo using it to the full, it’s sheer wizardary! So I hope the people at JetBrains won’t brand me a traitor(!) when I mention that CodeRush Xpress for Visual Studio 2008 is now freely available.
But, be careful if you have CodeRush or ReFactor! already installed:
- Does not support Visual Studio Express Editions.
- Cannot be installed side-by-side with other CodeRush or Refactor! editions.
