However it seems it has disappeared for good. What are the rules for spam ? Strange. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment17http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment17Mon, 21 May 2007 03:32:41 GMTGhostdoc. If you're generating documentation via sandcastle/ndoc then Ghostdoc just accellerates with the templating of xml comments. It's possible resharper does commenting I just haven't explored it yet. Quirks I have with it is not documenting enums or class level. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment16http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment16Mon, 21 May 2007 02:07:55 GMTTo me the huge thing in Resharper is the background compilation and quick error fixing. The quick navigation stuff is also nice, but beyond that its just a toss up as to what you like best. Refactor/CodeRush certainly seem way closer to zero friction than Resharper with its stop-you-in-your-tracks modal dialogs.... (sorry). http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment15http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment15Sun, 20 May 2007 15:33:23 GMTSorry - I was referring to CodeRush and Refactor! together (both from DevExpress). Refactor may use CodeRush to pull off some of its magic but together they are at least as good as Resharper. Ok, so Resharper is one product and what I"m talking about is two I guess. Although I've never used just Refactor without CodeRush so I don't exactly which of my "favorite features" lie with which product. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment14http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment14Sun, 20 May 2007 02:18:50 GMTChris, ReSharper is a refactoring tool, CodeRush is a code generation tool. This means that they have fairly significant differences between the two. I find that with R#, it just mesh into my workflow, with CR, it interrupt my workflow. Probably could get used to that, but I haven't seen anything that I _really_ liked. Something that I _wish_ that I could have is the visualization stuff, but not enough to get over the learning curve. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment13http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment13Sun, 20 May 2007 02:12:31 GMTI didn't finish my thought on that last post for some reason. I get why people use Resharper but I'm shocked that agile discussions almost never include a conversation about both offerings. You'd think there would be a more even discussion because they are both damn fine tools. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment12http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment12Sun, 20 May 2007 01:57:48 GMTI used to use Resharper. But I've tried to go back since using CodeRush and Refactor Pro and just can't use it anymore. CodeRush and Refactor are stuck in my fingers now... http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment11http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment11Sun, 20 May 2007 01:53:41 GMT@Ayende - Do they play well together? Not as well as I'd like - im running with both installed right now and there are some problems with the two stepping on each other. (You hear me, Mark Miller?!). Ive started picking and choosing which features from which product I want but its a tough (tedious) process. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment10http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment10Sun, 20 May 2007 00:54:29 GMTCodeRush and Refactor Pro. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment9http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment9Sun, 20 May 2007 00:47:44 GMTNikola, Do they play well together? I had issues with integration between the two in the past. One thing that drove me crazy about CR was taking over stuff that I would type normally. I _really_ like some of the visualization stuff there, such as CC for method, etc. And some of the WebForms Refactoring looks very nice. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment8http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment8Sat, 19 May 2007 18:55:37 GMTI can accept CC.Net, NAnt and WiX. NHibernate & Rhino Mocks are frameworks, not tools. I am more interested in the commercial side of things, actually. Since I am probably familiar with most of the OSS stuff out there. - Visual SVN - not really about agile, but fit to the way I work. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment7http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment7Sat, 19 May 2007 18:53:34 GMTDevExpress Refactor!

My two cents. http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment1http://ayende.com/2407/agile-tools#comment1Sat, 19 May 2007 17:45:45 GMT
