I've just installed CodeGear Studio 2009 and I didn`t find where I can put the Intellisense and code hints on.
And, by the way, in Visual Studio we can indent selected blocks of code in the same way. How can I use similar functions in CodeGear?
Any ideas about that?
It's called Code Insight. I don't have 2009 yet but it's probably in the same place as 2007. Have a look in Tools > Options > Editor Options > Code Insight.
By the way, it's no where near as good as Intellisense in VS.
The generic name is called "code completing", intellisense and insight are just catching marketing spun names companies use.
even after I`ve relaunched it with all points of CodeInsight turned on I found out that there was no result((

I am afraid this is an untypical "unspecific" question...
I have a lot of code in Outlook, and this should also be used by other users. Up to now I am exporting the modules and forms from my Outlook, and import them on the other machines. But this of course is quite a hassle on every change.
So I thought about turning them into an adding - easy to do for example for Excel...
I have done some Research now and the following questions are left:
is it right that the only software really useful is Visual Studio?
i did download the Trial Version of Visual Studio, and digged into it... but it seems I can not copy/paste the existing code, but there are a lot of changes necessary in the code - is that right? Is there a Kind of "translation" for the most common things?
Thanks for your answers,
Max
Not sure if by trial version you mean Visual Studio Express which you can find here:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/downloads#d-2013-express
In any case this should allow you to copy/paste your code. Also if you are a student/academic you can download the full version for free (https://www.dreamspark.com).
If you don't want to use VS, you could try SharpDevelop and NetOffice as an alternative.
I wrote a series on my blog about how to create an add-in for Outlook. There are quite specific instructions on how to get started, pitfalls I encountered along the way and tips/tricks to help you.
Here is where the series starts: http://www.midniteblog.com/?p=6. You can see all the links for the series here: http://www.midniteblog.com/?s=outlook.
Hope this is helpful for you!
P.S. You definitely want to use Visual Studio for a project like this because of the nature of Microsoft product integration.
I'm using VB.NET in VS2008 professional. Just installed Coderush Xpress 11.2.10. Code formatting and intellasist doesn't work.
I tried Edit->Advanced->Format Document but VS keeps formatting in its standard VB way without coderush configuration.
Intellasist never shows nothing. Even with intellisense deactivated in VS.
Can somebody help me? Thanks.
I regret to inform you that neither Intellassist nor Code Formatting for Visual Basic is available in the free CodeRush Xpress version.
My work dropped a vb.net program in my lap that I need to modify. Die vb. Die.
Anyway, I work in Netbeans and can't find a module that will allow for syntax highlighting of vb. Is there a creative solution out there for this that doesn't involve using a different IDE?
Thanks guys.
As mentioned in the accepted answer to this question, there is a tutorial for setting up custom syntax highlighting in Netbeans here (direct link to tutorial instead of link to FAQ provided in linked question).
I think you might well find that it's less hassle to just install Visual Studio than to set up Netbeans to highlight VB.Net syntax, but that's up to you. Good luck.
Does anyone know if the code editor used by VSTO IDE is available to use in my own projects?
I need to use a code editor in my project. I Googled to try to find one, but I found several third party solutions (pay or free) but they don't fit my needs.
In same way as Webbrowser control, is the "sourcecodeeditor" control of VSTO available to use as a project component?

Exists the class "MSVSTOSourceCodeEditor"? This is the question. Thanks
Unfortunately, no. Microsoft doesn't allow you to subclass its source code editor, nor do they provide a version for use in your own projects. As I mentioned before, they don't really want to encourage you to rewrite Visual Studio. They'd prefer that you bought it instead!
Have you considered creating a plug-in or extension for Visual Studio instead? It's a little bit different way of going about it, but it just might work for you. Your developers might find it more convenient since they won't have to switch back and forth between two programs.
If you're really set on rolling your own custom solution, probably the best thing to do is check the source code for some of the open-source, Visual Studio-style IDEs, and see how they've written the code editor:
MonoDevelop
SharpDevelop
KDevelop
There's any number of questions about MSIL on SO but none that directly answer this.
I've been using Textpad which does have a syntax definition file for MSIL and then using ILASM in a command prompt window.
I did find a reference to ILIDE but the link is broken.
Is there an IDE or add-on / plugin to Visual Studio / Eclipse for MSIL that allows syntax highlighting, intellisense, code completion, debugging etc.?
Use MonoDevelop
You can build specially MSIL projects. It's very useful for these issues, also you can use it in both Windows and Linux. What is better than this? :)
I made an extension for Visual Studio 2010 that supports syntax highlighting for IL files (.il) and includes projects with full debugging support for C#, F# and Visual Basic that support embedding and calling IL code directly.
IL Support extension
Enjoy!
I believe you can do it in #develop IDE.
No intellisense though.
I have exactly the same question!
I have found ilide eventually :
http://nida.se/ilide/
(note : strangely, some links to ilide are broken, some of them even mentioning earlier links that are broken , but then supply a link that's broken too. I was able to dowload it and Installed it succesfully from the link above though).
further :
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=112895
seems a very good debugger.
cheers, ph
xacc.ide has syntax highlighting for MSIL, and another odd 20 .NET languages.
See some screenshots here.
IIRC, Visual Studio will give you debugging, if you assemble with /debug.
I think MS had a demo or sample of some VS plugin that helped a bit with IL. I'm not sure what it was named or if it was released.
