This is awesome! save a few $ for those who doesn't want to pay for Resharper =DAnonymous

This is new to me, will try it out. What do you use it mostly for?Anonymous

Outstanding. I've been using the full version for years and can't bear to code without it. IMHO it makes Resharper pale in comparison.Anonymous

It seems like it will be very useful, but is there any documentation or settings for it? It would be nice to be able to turn off the Structural Highlighting, and how does the "Expand/Shrink Selection" work?Anonymous

Pay for resharper! You will be happier in the long run. If you can't...sure...use this. Any tool of this nature is better than none.Anonymous

What does this do besides highlight blocks of code? The Ctrl+~ does a bit of ref'ing, but other than that I'm stumped as to why this is even usefulAnonymous

I have problems too. The IDE has become a RAM eater, projects that were loaded in 70-80 MB of ram, now they need about 300 (!). Also, after working a little in the IDE with that thing loaded, it has crashed at the moment i tried to create a Console Application. I removed it from my system immediately.Anonymous

This thing is really buggy. Eats ram like mad and crashes constantly. I was actually looking forward to it. It's a shame I had to remove it mere hours after installing it and tryin it on one of my smaller projects. One of my biggest issues is I can't find any way to change any settings. Are there even any? If I could just disable some of the things I don't care about, I could probably use it...Anonymous

Great idea. There were some good things in this software, but there were a few bugs, which is why I uninstalled it:
- Slowed down my IDE
- Crashed my IDE quite a lot.

Anyone know who to contact for support or submit bug reports to? The link above is just to the download, and there doesn't seem to be any information about support on that page.. Would bug reports just go to Microsoft Connect?Anonymous

Very nice tool, as soon as I get a copy of Windows 7, which supports up to 256 CPUs -propably the recommended CPUs to run CodeRush Xpress decently- I will reinstall it ASAP. For now, I have removed it from my system.Anonymous

Everyone is uninstalling? I Guess I shouldn't touch it...Anonymous

Anyone who is having difficulty with this product should contact support@devexpress.com who are will be happy to help in any way they can. The more examples of crashes/bug reports that devexpress receive, the quicker these things can get resolved. I use the full versions of RefactorPro and CodeRush and have had very few issues and almost no crashes in several years. Please report these issues to Devexpress so that they can work on fixing them for you...Anonymous

Memory concerns: The RAM required is relatively proportional to the size of your project. So consuming 200-300 MB for a large project is normal. Stumped/Docs: Go here for an overview http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/dd218053.aspx. And bring up the help (it's integrated into the VS help) to learn more. Reports of crashing: We expect to release an update this week that includes fixes to issues reported since the release in October. BTW, make sure you're reporting any issues you experience to support@devexpress.com. The entire team works very hard to create the best tools possible, and stability, performance, and memory efficiency are our highest priorities. Our turn-around time on bug fixes is very fast, so definitely let us know what you're seeing.Anonymous

Yeah lots of crashes - I can't tell you how many hours of work I've lost because I happen to change 5 files before saving... and then boom! crash and lost. The thing that gets me is that I don't even have to be using the tool's features... it seems to happen a lot when my editor tries to pull up some Intellisense, but it can happen randomly too.Anonymous

"consuming 200-300 MB for a large project is normal" ?? Give me a break... Unless you speak for projects like the VS itself...Anonymous
November 23, 2008
I've been doing ok. The setup I changed a while back. Every type of interest I have is going swell.Anonymous

I had some issues with crashing as well. However this has been addressed in the latest release v3.2.2 and I no longer have crashes or large memmory usage. This is a great add-on to Visual Studio. Thanks DevExpressAnonymous

CodeRush Xpress continually crashed Visual Studio. It is all very well to say that we should report this and it will be fixed but I can't afford to have VS crashing every 10 minutes until a fix comes out, even if it only takes a week.Anonymous

I tried it and it made my visual studio amazingly sloooow so away it went. All I wanted was some structural highlighting, not a monster ;)Anonymous

I am trying coderush express and find my IDE is much faster than with Resharper 4.5. Though I do miss realtime error checking and auto close curly braceAnonymous
