SharpDevelop

It's now been a while since the WPF Designer was split out into a separate repository of its own (early October of 2015 to be precise). It still looks & feels the same as before, however there have been quite a few changes, new features, and, as ... [More] always, bug fixes. It ships on NuGet. One very important change is "buried" in our CONTRIBUTING.md - we undertook the work to get rid of third-party UI component assembly dependencies (and we want to keep it that way). That meant writing our own property editors, but it allows us to add/edit just about any XAML control. And additionally, no more version clashes for you, because we ship with zero dependencies! Now for an assorted list of news in the designer:  XAML2009 support (partially, not all is yet supported, eg x.TypeArguments) Support for parsing app.xaml and resources defined in there! Implement DesignWidth/DesignHeight support Support for x:Reference Support for Styles and ControlTemplates Pressing "ALT" while clicking on a control allows the selection of a control below Remove dependency to Extended.Wpf.Toolkit, now projects which use these assemblies can be designed Performance fixes: outline node was really slow on big XAML pages Formatted text editor: you can edit a Textblock via inline editor and style the text (Bold, Italic, Font,...) Snapline fixes (now also middle of control has a Snapline, and you can snap to elements in other containers)  Namescope fixes, copy&paste fixes,... the prefix of the XAML element is not lost any more (no "d1p1" in XAML) Better assembly loading support Many new context menus Same context menu for Outline and Designer  XAML parser fixes Editor for formatted text in a TextBlock Support of loading Files from relative URIs Copy/Paste of Bindings uses copied controls The WPF Designer has been merged for the current SharpDevelop 5.1 builds on the build server. Please give it a thorough test drive! It took a little longer (especially the "no third parties" part) than planned, but we hope that you have now a much more useful experience. If you are looking for examples on how to use the designer in your own projects: there are two samples in the repository, and of course there is always SharpDevelop to look at.  [Less]

On Wednesday at //build/ 2016 Microsoft released Update 2 for Visual Studio 2015. Today, our @roslyn 1.2 compatible version 4.0 of Refactoring Essentials follows suit (I totally like doing useful stuff on April 1st). We are proud that we now have ... [More] crossed the line of 250 refactorings/analyzers and fixes for C# and VB, and we expect to extend our VB support via cross-language analyzers using the new IOperation API. However, before getting ahead of ourselves with futures, one more feature stands out in the 4.0 release: our Roslyn Code Converter. It has soft-launched on the Web with a REST API (background information), and is now available in the Refactoring Essentials extension, where it runs locally: Details of what else is new can be found - as is now customary - in the release notes in our GH wiki. In closing, I want to circle back to the future: aside from looking into IOperation, configuration is also top of our mind. And we have more ideas, so help is very much appreciated - please check out our contributing doc. [Less]

Currently we are working on a 2.0 release of Refactoring Essentials, that will include a considerable number of new refactorings and bugfixes/improvements - for C# and VB! Please see the complete list in our release notes. Because some of our devs ... [More] will be on vacation next week, the official release will arrive only after September 14th, 2015. But if you are interested in experiencing the new features now, you can pick one of our development builds automatically pushed to VSIX Gallery. Don't get confused: The development builds still have a 1.2.x version number. Feel free to test (especially the new refactorings and analyzers) and let us know about any problems through GitHub! P.S.: Many thanks to all contributors and testers who helped us in the last months to make Refactoring Essentials better! [Less]
