Yesterday's post already hinted at this weekend's event in Bad Ischl, Austria: #d^3. The #develop developer days are a get together for core developers, this year's participants are (in no specific order) Mike, Andrea, Markus, Peter, Christian, Bernhard and myself. Main goal: getting some work done on Corsavy, our version 2.0 #develop.

Here are some photos:

Mike Krüger to the left, Peter (#report) standing in the middle, Markus (VB.NET and lots of other stuff) sitting to the right.

This time, we start from the right: Bernd (Senior Word Wrangler) starting SuSE on his laptop, Andrea (working on the lexer) sitting next to him.

While sitting at #d^3 (#develop developer days) here in Bad Ischl, we dug up the photo that was on the homepage of icsharpcode.net a long time ago:

 

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.

Today we released the Beta for #develop 1.1. More information

In this video, I show how to use the new Web References feature (contributed just recently by Matt Ward) in #develop 1.1:

.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.

In this video, I show all the steps necessary from installing TortoiseSVN to downloading and building #develop. Note: the steps are described in our Wiki, topic Using the Repository.

All existing feature videos are listed there. Go there and suggest demonstrations you would like us to record, from a user's perspective as well as a developer contributing to #develop (or our development process for that matter).

This demonstration shows the cool new XML editing features in 1.1: intellisense, folding and validation.

Included in the 1.1 preview is an early version of the #report addin, done by Peter Forstmeier and Christian Amariei. This addin is not yet polished (you will see debug messages, a non-fatal crash once in a while, you name it), but still you can get a very good idea of what is to come. Give us feedback via the forum on what you would like to see in #report!

Another contribution by Matt Ward - the NAnt integration inside #develop. From build file generation to deep integration, this demo will show what you can do:

Matt Ward contributed a PInvoke addin to #develop. This screen recording shows how easy it is to use:
