Free CodeRush Plug-in: Move Source Code|
Rory Becker is a busy guy. Developer by day and CodeRush fanatic by night, he doesn’t have time to be unproductive. He is creating ways to make Visual Studio work his way. A long-term CodeRush user and DXCore plug-in developer, Rory has released yet another great plug-in that you can download for free.
This plug-in allows you to move source code using your arrow keys. It’s so simple we had to wonder why Visual Studio doesn’t support this out-of-the-box.
It’s also worth noting that a large number of the community plug-ins hosted on the DXCore Community Plug-ins site also already work under the CodeRush beta for VS2010 with no need to recompile. So check out the buffet and grab yourself some CodeRush delights.

XAF - Xtremely Accessible Fitness
Gary has a goal. That goal is to fit into his traditional Scottish garb by TechEd. Can we confirm that we’ll see Gary in a kilt in New Orleans? Maybe, maybe not. But what we can be sure of is that his exercise application, built with the eXpress Application Framework, will get into great shape along the way.
This week Gary is adding to the foundation that he created in his first post with mechanisms to track and record his training activities.
Check out the latest post and leave Gary your feedback in the comments.

The DevExpress Project Converter: Upgrade with Ease|
The DevExpress team knows how frustrating and time-consuming “update day” for your projects can be. That’s why our development team came up with the DevExpress Project Converter. The tool provides you with an easy way to update your projects’ references to use newly installed DevExpress components, regardless of the .NET platform that you use.
Updating your projects need never be the troublesome task that it currently is, again.
Let Amanda take you through an overview of how easy it is to use, and then check out Mehul’s post on how to integrate the tool directly into Visual Studio.
