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.
Downloads
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.

Informational posts
And these are the blog posts I made about the plugin, in reverse chronological order:
Electric Editing version 1.2.3.2 - Compiled against CodeRush 2.0.1
Electric Editing version 1.2.3.1 - Compiled against CodeRush 1.1.28
Electric Editing plugin 1.2 available - Introduction of delayed whitespace hinting and Emacs Scrolling
CodeRush Electric Editing plugin 1.1.4.2 available - A few bug fixes in this release
CodeRush Electric Editing plugin 1.1.3 available - This was the first version that was tested with VS 2005 beta 2
Electric Editing plugin updated - This post has some screenshots of the options dialog and some explanations of the functionality
CodeRush Electric Editing plugin - This is the first announcement of the first public version
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
Method throwing exception: System.Type get_RealType()
Stack Trace…
at DevExpress.CodeRush.Core.OptionsPageType.get_RealType()
at DevExpress.CodeRush.Core.OptionsPageType.CreateInstance()
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.

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?
Comment by Oliver Sturm — 24/5/2005 @ 2:06 pm - 3 years, 2 months ago
It was a pre-release to fix problems with the XPO installer but
it was officially released last week.
Comment by Dave Liden — 24/5/2005 @ 6:11 pm - 3 years, 2 months ago
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.

Geez. My apologies but the version 1.18 doesn’t seem to be on the downloads
page. 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.

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
Comment by Oliver Sturm — 25/5/2005 @ 8:39 am - 3 years, 2 months ago
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.

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.

Dave, this issue has been corrected in the latest release of CodeRush.

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.

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.

My version of CodeRush Electric Editing is working fine. I hope everyone else can get their issues resolved. I know software bugs can be a pain.
