devexpress coderush and XAML


this question is targeted towards coderush users. I am trying to recover from a bad surgery and bought an online tutorial on how to convert old wpf apps to the new modern style(metro).

The instructor on video has Resharper installed, where I have coderush. In resharper everything seems to be done automatically. Namespaces in xaml are entered by R#, colors are shown not by name but by color. In my old coderush nothing was working.

So i thought my old expired version is finally outdated. I had version 12. Devexpress is very generous to offer a 30 day trial! so i updated! But alas, the same!

Its very annoying, especially trying to pick a color and instead seeing the real color you see a few dozen names..

So, are there any settings i can fiddle with??? to make this tool more assisting???


Solution

  • It works fine in XAML. The color picker in CodeRush supports all supported languages.

    You have to click the color swatch which appears underneath the color name.
