What's Going On?!

Thursday, October 11, 2007, 08:53 PM - Code Style Enforcer

It’s been quite some time now, since I last posted some information about what’s going on. Well, to tell you the truth, I’ve been rather busy lately, changing employer among other things. So, unfortunately I’ve not been having that much time with Code Style Enforcer, but hopefully that will change.

The earlier posted information about a new version with a more detailed configuration of the code rules, e.g. different name rules depending on visibility or keyword, will have to wait a little longer, due to some architectural decisions.

A new version is planned to be released real soon though, containing a new feature where it’s possible to generate a report, i.e. XML file, containing information about all code rule violations for all files in a solution. Some users have wished for a feature like this, so I thought it would be a good thing to implement. That‘s what’s being agile after all.

A fix with the MSI installation of Code Style Enforcer for Windows Vista x64 is also planned for this release. I think you can expect this new release within a week or two…

New Version 2.1.29 of Code Style Enforcer

Wednesday, August 22, 2007, 05:28 PM - Code Style Enforcer

Here comes a new version with some minor, but yet quite inconvenient, bug fixes. Almost eight hundred unique downloads of version 2.1.25, closing in on one thousand ;)! Feels very good that so many are downloading it and at least are trying it out. Thanks!

New Features

• Code Style Enforcer activation dialog made more attractive.

• More nicer looking icons.

Bug Fixes

• Visual Studio crashed, due to a bug in DXCore, when attempting to parse a class with inheritance like: class ClassXXX : ClassXXX { }.

• Installation showed a non-informative error message, "Object reference not set to an instance of an object", when DXCore wasn't installed.

Bug Fixes in the Next Release

Friday, August 17, 2007, 11:17 AM - Code Style Enforcer

The upcoming version, will be released with a couple of days, and will most probably not contain any new features but instead some minor bug fixes.

Bugs Fixed:
• Workaround due to a bug in DXCore, which made Visual Studio crash when interhiting yourself, i.e. same sub class as base class.

• Installation now reports an informative message if DXCore is not installed, instead of "Object reference not set to an instance of an object".

If you know any more bugs, please let me know, and I might be able to fix them for this upcoming release.

Unfortunately I've not had enough time during my vacation to look more into the implementation of having multiple name rules for the same code type but with different visibilities or keywoards, e.g. public fields and private fields. But I don't think it will introduce to much problems for me, so I think there might be a first version out within a couple of weeks.

For locally linked rules, press the default button in DevExpress menu --> Options --> Code Standard, for locally added rules.

• New visibility rules added for enumeration, delegate, attribute and exception.

Server HD Crash!

Thursday, July 19, 2007, 06:17 PM - Code Style Enforcer

Yesterday our Build/SVN/CI Server gave up, the HD suddenly sounded like THUMP THUMP DDRR GRR THUMP THUMP, yeah you know the drill...

Where are all backups when you need them, well I will try to get all data back and have the server up and running again as soon as possible, but it will have to wait until I'm back from my two weeks of vacation in USA. Unfortunately this means that the version to be released this week will also be delayed until then...

I´ll let you all know as soon as everything is back to normal, until then enjoy the summer, cause I certainly will!
