A stripped (more express) version of CodeRush, called CodeRush Xpress, is available for download at no charge! And even a bunch of refactorings are included. See the announcement or go to the product page directly. Now you don't have any more excuses to avoid the very handy and useful CodeRush! UPDATE: I missed the fact that it works only ...

If your Visual Studio 2005 or 2008 freezes while creating a Silverlight project, or any other project then you might try switching off CodeRush add in.

Anyway, everything is as one would expected ...

Customers (actual ones, not potential) are asking whether XPO will someday support n-tier development. They are happily using XPO but they miss a vital part, which is n-tier development. Note that XPO never ...
