It converts a code snippet into it's abstract syntax tree represntation (AST) which you can see and modify in the treeview below. The other way (AST to code) supported as well as running a visitor on the tree.

Secret code completion feature

Sat, 28 Oct 2006 12:40:16 GMT

Supposed you want to call a method and don't know the return type you can use this handy completion feature:

int getSomeObscureType()
{
return 1;
}

void test()
{
? x = getSomeObscureType();
}

After you typed the semicolon (highlighted in red), the placeholder "?" is replaced by the return type of the called method:

void test()
{
int x = getSomeObscureType();
}

Console selection support

No big news, but a little detail that makes the console addin more useful: I've added selection support. You can now select text and copy it to the clipboard.

ASP.NET designer

Tue, 26 Apr 2005 19:26:33 GMT

.NET 2.0 introduces a new class in the System.Web.UI.Design namespace: WebFormsRootDesigner (documentation). Unfortunately, the class only seems to be a stub that, most important, doesn't implement the GetView method (documentation).

If you have a clue where to find a functional implementation please let us know. Drop me a line (you can find the email address here) or add a comment to this entry. Your help is highly appreciated.

InitializeComponents method readonly

Fri, 01 Apr 2005 17:37:00 GMT

As with revision 1815 there is a new option popping up in the windows forms designer option panel:

With this option enabled, the InitializeComponents method in the generated code becomes readonly. The different background color makes indicates this:

The reason for this options are the ongoing 'bug reports' in the forum from users who didn't notice the comment above the method and changed the code.

SD-248 - "Warnings are always treated as errors"
a long outstanding bug in the SharpAssembly library has been fixed (thanks to "amih" in the forum). It can now load Managed C++ executables and DLLs, so eventually there is code completition for the DirectX classes available.

Console addin

Fri, 17 Sep 2004 22:54:48 GMT

I'm currently working on an addin that integrates a shell window into SharpDevelop. Basically it's a port of the "Console" project (http://sourceforge.net/projects/console) to ManagedC++ with some modifcations.

It's not polished for release yet, still somewhat buggy and unstable. Expect a sneak peek within the next few weeks.
