SharpDevelop

Today I retired the initial Wiki (which only remained online for the book errata; we are now actually at Wiki #3), as well as the initial forum. Both resources [/heyhey/wiki/ and /opensource/sd/forums/] were available read-only anyways. The old URLs ... [More] now redirect to our new and active installations. The main reason for the complete removal is security. Both were old, unmaintained ASP solutions....(read more) [Less]

Time for an update on the status of the Workflow Foundation plugin for 3.0 as of build 2668.The plugin currently supports the following:Creation and build of workflow assemblies - C# only.Basic designer support for workflows and activities - code ... [More] separation only.Sidebar for standard workflow activities with drag/drop onto designer.Event handler creation from designer.Rules files saved/restored.There is still a long way to go but you can create workflow projects, compile and run them. If you want to try it out the console template is a good starting point. It should create a application with an empty sequential workflow, do the following:Create a new workflow project from the sequential console project template.The project should have opened in the design view for workflow1, drag a CodeActivity from the toolbox onto the workflow.Double click your new codeActivity to generate the code handler and enter your code here,    Console.WriteLine("Hello Workflow World!");    Console.ReadKey();F5 to build and run and you should get a console window open with the message! Give it a try!Russell [Less]

Hi everyone.I haven't been around for a long while, and also didn't commit any updates to the Class Diagram addin. This is because work was keeping me too busy and tired, and all kind of other projects kept coming in.Anyway, the 3.0 version of ... [More] SharpDevelop is on its way, and it is time to get back to work and complete this addin for good :)However, I still can't find the time to do it... so I need your help :)Following is a list of tasks that need to be done to complete the set of addins. If you want to help with some of them (please do... ;)) just pick one and start coding. You can then send me patches for review, and I'll commit them (or, if you have commit permissions, you can commit them on your own, but I'd still like to be notified about it so I can review it).The tasks are:Layout and Routing - the layout algorithm I wrote is a very simple one, somewhat buggy. Could be nice replacing it with something well known and commonly used. I actually wanted to use a free library for that, but couldn't find one that is free or that have a license we can use. About the routing algorithm - well, it sucks. Need to write something real. Again, library, free, license, yada yada... This task would probably not be something I'll work on, as I don't know the algorithms for that (nor had any luck finding them on the net), so if you happen to have a degree in graph-sciences or something, this could be the task for you.Bug: Inner-Classes Resize - Something is not working there, and I couldn't track it down. It actually got me to a situation I started to look for other canvases and try to write new canvases just to have it replaced with something that always work. Just create some class and put several inner classes/structs/enums and play with it for a while, resizing, clicking the expand/collapse buttons, etc.Class Editor - Well, just complete anything that seem to be missing in there. Should be straight-forward identifying that something is missing and implementing it. I'll try to add a more detailed list later on.Class Wizards - Need to complete the current two (class wizard/interface wizard), and perhaps write some more (Enum wizard, for example). Then try to create an entire project's outline just with the wizards and see if it's easy enough and comfortable.That's about it. Any questions are welcome, and I'll make sure to check my inbox here regularly.Thanks for the help,Itai. [Less]

When you double-click a file in SharpDevelop 2.x, it will get opened inside SharpDevelop. AddIns can add display bindings opening for opening file types (e.g. ResourceEditor for .resx files), but this has the effect of disabling the other display ... [More] bindings for that file type - In SharpDevelop 2.x, you cannot open a .resx file inside the text editor (except if you disable the ResourceEditor AddIn). In SharpDevelop 3.0, you can now right-click a file in the project browser and select "Open With..."....(read more) [Less]

A small but highly visible bug went unnoticed for the official 2.2.1 release: When creating a new project, ${USER} ${DATE} in the standard header etc. was not replaced with values. Thus we decided to release an 2.2.1a version that contains a fix for this templates-related issue....(read more)

Today, we released SharpDevelop 2.2.1 . This is a bug fix release with two updated external software packages: NUnit 2.4.2 and SharpDevelop Reports 2.2.0.235. It is recommend that you upgrade to this point release....(read more)

In the short term there are more fixes coming mainly for Zip handling.This is likely to be called 0.85.3 because its already been mentioned as such in the forum.Hopefully this will happen in the next month or so.

The CHM file is there nowhttp://downloads.sourceforge.net/sharpdevelop/SharpZipLib0852.chm

There have been a few problems getting 0.85.2 out the door involving SMTP servers and failures therein which is frustrating.  The release has gone ahead despite this somewhat to my surprise I must confess. You will find the HTML help file is missing from the release currently.  It should turn up in a few days time hopefully.    

In revision 2583, I added the XamlBinding and WPF Designer to the setup of SharpDevelop 3.0. XamlBinding is a language binding that integrates .xaml files into SharpDevelop's code-completion infrastructure. Here is an example of SharpDevelop showing ... [More] a tool tip for a property in a .xaml file: A window in .xaml is a partial class: one part is generated from the .xaml file, the other is the user code. If the xaml file specifies a name for an element, the compiler will generate a field that can be used...(read more) [Less]
