Deploying a CodeRush plugin from the Community Site

If I have a plugin that I want to deploy from the DevExpress CodeRush Community site, how do I deploy it onto my machine?

This one looks like such a useful plugin.

Solution

  • How do I install a plugin

    Instructions are linked to, from the top of each plugin page. Look for the blue button that says "Install help" (Also linked here)

    Essentially all you have to do is drop the dll in the right directory and restart studio.

    Issues

    One potential issue surrounds the idea that dlls built on machines other than your own, are not inherently trusted by your machine and therefore will not always be loaded until they have been unblocked. (A one time exercise per dll at most)

    Travis Illig has some information on how to deal with this situation.
