They have a small error in their intellisense demo ;)
The downside with all these kind of products is that
they slow down the IDE if your project gets bigger and
bigger and for example you have complicated forms with a
lot of eventhandlers (and thus a couple of 1000 lines of
code.).
VS.NET 2005 is already slow on my Xeon 3Gz box if I type
code at line 3000 or so in my large interfaces.cs file
and I fear that having these kind of tools running
inside the IDE as well will not make it any quicker. So
the real test would be: how does it hold up in a large
scale app with several projects and hundreds of
thousands of lines of code.
flipdoubt: I have my reservations about CodeRush, but
mainly I'd rather have reshaper due to the real time
compilation and refactoring and navigational support.
I suppose I should do a full review of CodeRush one of
these days..
Roy, if you do, pelase don't forget to include Refactor!
pro, the combo is quite nice. One of the best features
of this combo is that it doesn't bring down VS.net with
an outofmemory exception, whereas VS+Resharper quite
often does (with large solutions (15+ projects) and
rediculously large files (6000+ lines)).
