CodeSMART 2009 for VS.NET is a multi-purpose add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET versions 2002 and 2003. It currently addresses both single developers as well as developer teams through a wide range of powerful features.

CodeSMART 2009 for VS.NET is an add-in for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET that can locate the code more faster , can boost applications , protect from errors and many more.

Here are some key features of "CodeSMART 2009 for VS.NET":

· Locate code faster than ever
· The enhanced Code Explorer tool features expandable code components (it's like having the Solution Explorer and the Class View in one) with member type distinction, custom representations, search and filter capabilities, advanced sorting, in-tree custom bookmarks and regions.
· Shortcuts to various code explorer nodes (like certain functions, properties, classes etc) can be created on a special window called Workbench. These shortcuts are persistent through sessions with regards to each project.
· Single or multi line code search/replacement operations (wildcards and regular expressions are supported) can be performed at all levels. The comprehensive result list is fully customizable, allowing for sorting, grouping and printing.
· Understand code cross references by using a specialized find references tool.
· Parse complex methods in the Code Flow Explorer and get instant access to internal structure and logical code blocks.
· The Designer Explorer displays the current designer control hierarchy in a tree view, thus making control navigation and designer layout comprehension a breeze.
· Boost application development productivity
· With the advanced auto-text system you can insert complete blocks of code by typing a few letters or a keyboard shortcut.
· The SmartComplete subsystem will display an Intellisense-like window containing language specific keywords, statements and control structures not covered by the VS.NET standard Intellisense tool, also including highly configurable user-defined items and specific auto-text items.
· Use the integrated advanced code builders to considerably reduce time and effort when implementing complex code constructs like interfaces, collection classes, object construction and destruction code, custom exception and formatter classes and so on.
· Build new classes, properties, indexers and methods by using integrated standard code builders.
· Benefit of ten quickly-accessible additional copy-and-paste buffers which are persistent between sessions.
· Create smart pieces of code by using standard parameters. When inserted in code, standard parameters are replaced accordingly in order to reflect current session characteristics, code location information, date and time values, or to select code / place the cursor.
· Review and spell check string constants in code (more than 10 different languages supported) with just a mouse-click.
· Analyze whether a project is documented enough according to certain custom standards by using the code commenting conformity checker tool.
· Use the code snippets manager to organize code libraries and share them within your team.
· Use designer tools to improve application interface development: enhanced tab order designer (has an auto-tab feature), control hotkey management, bulk control renaming, quick access to the name and text properties - all these using naming standards (where applicable).
· Protect from errors and exceptions and ease debugging tasks
· Create multiple exception handling templates by using the try...catch templates manager and share them within your team.
· Use keyboard shortcuts to insert / embrace-with exception handling code.
· Automatically insert barebone exception handling code at critical points (for example in entry points like event handlers, constructors etc) or in every routine in your projects. A scheme-based approach is used, in which any child either inherits its parent's scheme or has its own scheme overwriting the parent one.
· A special subsystem allows the programmer to automatically insert and remove iterative code at all project levels. This feature can be invaluable in certain situations, like error cause detection by logging procedure entry and exit points.
· Organize and document Visual Basic and C# code
· Use code formatter to indent code and insert blank lines in order to emphasize logical blocks and program flow.
· Split code lines that go beyond a certain length or recombine code lines that span over multiple editor lines.
· Break method definition lines by attributes and arguments for improved readability.
· Use a sort procedure tool to re-arrange code in a more logical and intelligible manner by sorting code elements based on their scope, type and signature.
· Team-enabled XML comment templates can be used for a consistent and flexible method to document Visual Basic and C# code. NB: Visual Basic XML comments is implemented by CodeSMART.
· Enhance team collaboration
· Various software development standards can be promoted/enforced at team level. The following items can be shared within a team: exception handling templates, XML comment and standard comment templates, code snippets, code formatting settings, naming standards.
