CodeRush Electric Editing plugin
CodeRush Electric Editing plugin
Okay, after a while of fiddling around with different blog posts for different versions, I thought it would be better if the plugin had a central page with the download links, and links to various posts on the details. So I’ll keep creating blog posts when new versions are released, but the plugin will “live” on this central page.

These are the downloads that are currently available. If you just want the latest and greatest, simply download the version on top of the list. For more information, see below.

Comment from: Dave Liden [Visitor] 
So, I have the 'new' version of CodeRush installed (1.18) and it looks like at least on my system) it broke ElectricEditing. DXCore is listed as version 1.1.30
and CodeRush is listed as vewsion 1.18. The behavior shows up when attempting to
show the OptionsPageEditor.
Error is:
Message: Demand-loaded OptionsPage Editor\Electric Editing not set on package load.
Options Path: Editor\Electric Editing
Application/Object causing exception: DevExpress.CodeRush.Core

I've gotten used to the plugin and really miss it (many
thanks for your efforts).
If you have the time, could you help me locate the problem?

I can't really tell you anything about that issue, because it looks like the CodeRush Core is doing something that fails, possibly with option settings. One thing you could try is to remove the ElectricEditing.ini from the path {systemdrive}\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\CodeRush for VS .NET\1.1\Settings\Editor, or you could even try removing (or renaming) the complete Settings folder. I've seen this cure some curious problems in the past, so maybe it helps. Just to confirm: The current Electric Editing version certainly works for me with the newest CodeRush and Refactor! versions.I'll post your question in the CodeRush newsgroup on the Developer Express news server and see if Mark (or someone) can come up with an idea about this.
05/24/05 @ 08:46
I just noticed a very interesting thing that didn't catch my eye previously: I don't even have that CodeRush version you are referring to. Is that a special prerelease or something?

It was a pre-release to fix problems with the XPO installer butit was officially released last week.
05/24/05 @ 18:11
Comment from: Dave Liden [Visitor]
As to the suggested fix, the ini file you mention isn't in the appdata directory.I'm guessing it's because the plugin fails to load. Maybe. I also removed the
settings directory but there was no change.

Hm, looking at newsgroup postings, it looks like an update should have been released a few days ago but is still in the pipeline. Maybe that's the one you are already using. I've asked about the version and your problem in the newsgroup and as soon as I get the newer installed myself I'll also have a look on my system.

Comment from: Dave Liden [Visitor]
Geez. My apologies but the version 1.18 doesn't seem to be on the downloadspage. I had 1.18 for several days before the last batch of updates and
dutifully downloaded the official version - or whst I thought was the official
version. So, I'll take a shot at removing 1.18 and installing 1.17 -
since there was a new version of XPO as well. Maybe that issue was cleared up.

New development. I downloaded the version of CodeRush marked 1.17. Upon attempting to install it, I noticed that the installer banner
says it is version 1.18. I downloaded it again and it still says it is v 1.18.
I installed it and it is version 1.18.

05/24/05 @ 19:01
In my About dialog, with version 1.1.17 installed, CodeRush is listed at version 1.1.17. DXCore says 1.1.29. Maybe you didn't uninstall your version 1.1.18 before attempting the older installation? I don't know whether inplace downgrading is supported :-)
05/25/05 @ 08:39
Comment from: Dave Liden [Visitor]
I uninstalled both CodeRush and Refactor! and deleted the directories. I didn't clean out the registry though. I should also reiterate that
the installer banner (displayed just prior to unpacking the cabs)
says that I am just about to install 1.1.18, the titlebar on the
dialog says the same thing.

05/25/05 @ 14:39
I'm sorry Dave, I can't tell you anything more about this right now. I've tried asking about the issue in the CR newsgroup, but I haven't received a reply up to now. I suggest you contact support@devexpress.com directly, maybe they'll be able to clear up the versioning issue for you. The usual request in the newsgroup is to contact email support for all kinds of installation issues, so this is probably your best bet. The other chance might be to wait for the official release of the next version, but apparently that has already been delayed by some very complicated problems and might be delayed even longer, and you can't be sure that the issue will go away with the new version alone.
05/25/05 @ 15:09
Dave, this issue has been corrected in the latest release of CodeRush.

Comment from: John [Visitor]
After installing DXCore and CR_ElectricEditing 1.2.3.1, I found that Ctrl+V would intermittently paste text from the clipboard. Unfortunately this is highly undesirable as I'm using the Emacs key mapping scheme in VS 2005 where Ctrl+V is mapped to PageDown. Any ideas why this add-in should cause this to happen?Thanks,
John.
12/13/05 @ 10:23
Hey John, thanks for using Electric Editing. I'm sorry to say I have no idea whatsoever why my plugin should have anything to do with this behaviour you're seeing - Ctrl+V is of no concern to it.I wonder if this is not a more general problem with DXCore. Have you used it with other plugins?
I'll test this if I have the time. Only I don't normally use DXCore alone, rather the complete package with CodeRush and Refactor!, so I'll have to set up a test VM for this.
12/13/05 @ 10:29
I had the same problem, but my version of coderush electric editing is now working - thanks for the suggestions!

Comment from: theperm [Visitor]
http://community.devexpress.com/forums/p/80649/276119.aspx#276119I have used this plugin for sometime with no problem but when I upgraded CodeRush to the latest 9.2.4 my editing experience took a turn for the worst. Linefeeds started ovccuring where they never before. I didn't have the time at first to try and figure out the causes. After some investigation today I have noticed that the CR_ElectricEditing plugin is not working correctly, rather it is working but it seems that its LineFeed options are not being respected.
unchecking any options like After SemiColon has no effect and always perfroms a linefeed
Does anyone else have the same experience and is this the correct place to mention this?

Comment from: Oliver Sturm [Visitor]
Hi theperm,Yeah, this is a good place to mention it :-)
I believe I have probably noticed the same issue the other day -- I saw something odd happening, but I didn't look into any details at the point and sort of forgot about it.
I'll have a look at this issue as soon as I can. Thanks for reporting it!
Oliver
09/11/09 @ 20:32
Another update on that options persistence issue. I have tracked down the problem to an issue in the DXCore itself. I have heard from our team that the problem is already reproduced and fixed by now, but the fix won't make it into the 9.2.5 release which is going to be out any time now. So 9.2.6 will be the one to look for -- hopefully soon!

Hi Onder,Well, that's not good! On the other hand, I haven't tested this plugin with the new 10.1 release of CR yet, so I'm sure this is a problem new to that version. Seems like the info you see is less than useful ;-)
I'll forward this to the DX guys to see whether they think its their problem. I'll try to find time to look into it myself as well. Thanks for the report!

How to install with Visual Studio 2010 and DXCore 10.2:1) Place the CR_ElectricEditing.dll assembly within C:\Users\your name\Documents\DevExpress\IDE Tools\Community\PlugIns.
2) Within Visual Studio, open the Options dialog using Ctrl-Alt-Shift-O.
3) Locate the plugin under Core>Plug-in Manager. Select the line and click load (green, at the top).
4) You now have some options you can configure under Editor>Electric Editing.
Good luck!

Hi Daniel,Thanks for the info - your step three shouldn't be necessary, however, unless you previously disabled the plugin at some point.

Janez - the latest version should work with all current releases, as far as I'm aware. Do you still have problems? Then please specify more precisely, or send me an email. You are mentioning CodeRush 10.x - I guess that's a mistake? 11.1.x has been out for a long time and that's what I'm using at the moment.

Comment from: Janez [Visitor]
Greetings Oliver!I am still on CodeRush 10.1.7. So I had CR Electric Editing v 1.2.4.1. installed. After installation of VS2010 SP1 plugin became the main reason for VS to crash each time opening it. Today I replaced plug-in dll with newly downloaded same version and it works as it should now.
Thanks for your rapid reply.

Janez- thanks for the update, good to hear everything works now! You may have come upon a "real" problem there, who knows - unfortunately, my time only allows me to move forward with releases and try to keep everything stable. Stuff like service packs and older versions don't usually get tested, I'm afraid to say. Always interested to hear about any issues though!Thanks

Comment from: Brian McCord [Visitor]
I was wondering if you will be releasing a version of ElectricEditing for CodeRush 12.1.6.0. I just ran across your plugin and it looks interesting, but it looks as if it may not have been updated for a while. Is it still being updated?Thanks,
Brian
08/27/12 @ 19:50
Comment from: Oliver Sturm [Visitor]
Hi Brian,Thanks for asking. The plugin is not being updated for additional functionality, if that's what you're asking - I regard it feature complete. For new CodeRush or DXCore versions, I would certainly update it. But the plugin model of the platform is such that an update is not always required - actually, it's rarely required, seeing how the plugin goes back to 2004 and I can only remember maybe 5 times or so when an update had to made available for compatibility purposes.
So - it's entirely possible that I've missed some issue with the plugin and its compatibility with 12.1.6. If so, please describe what the problem is and I'll see about fixing it as soon as I can. Otherwise, I would assume that the version built against 11.1.7 still works fine with 12.1.6.
Thanks

When I put it in the community plugins folder located at My Documents\DevExpress\IDE Tools\Community\PlugIns, it appears not to do anything.Looking at the plugin manager in CodeRush, the plugin shows Unknown for the Assembly Type, Unknown for the Evaluation Status and nothing under the Assembly Version. It also fails to load.
Have I installed it properly?
Thanks,
Brian

Comment from: Oliver Sturm [Visitor]
Hi Brian,I just checked with DXCore/CodeRush 12.1.6 installed in VS 2010, and the current 1.2.6.1 release of Electric Editing seems to load correctly for me. I specifically checked the plugins page you're referring to, and all the columns show useful and correct values, the assembly version shows correctly and the Load State is "Loaded". All property pages are also available.
Here's an idea: with another plugin of mine, some users have reported what we called the "Windows dll blocking" problem. As described here: http://www.paraesthesia.com/archive/2010/03/29/dxcore-plugins-may-be-blocked-by-windows-security.aspx
Perhaps this helps?

Oliver, I think something happened with electric editing a version or two with coderush. The backspace and delete across lines feature is deleteing the next character it deletes to, basically is removes the whitespace plus a character that you don't want removed. Ive disabled all other plugins and can't think whats causing it other than some change in coderush. Im on coderush 12.1.9.0. Any ideas?

Sorry, might have jumped the gun a bit on that. It worked if i load VS with the plugin disabled and then load it the plugin manually, but after restarting VS it is misbehaving again. Obviously i must have had the plugin disabled before my coderush update, so had to manually load it and didnt bother restarting VS, so its still not working as it should. I need to renew my license to coderush to retry with the latest builds. I will update you when i do.
