Meet CodeRush

Unmatched Productivity
Every CodeRush feature is meticulously designed to optimize developer productivity and minimize both cognitive load and physical motion. CodeRush stays out of your way so you can get into the zone, write more code in less time with fewer keystrokes, navigate to exactly where you want to be, effortlessly refactor, and quickly remove the noise from Intellisense results to find exactly what you need. And for new users, it's never been easier to get up and running with the all new Setup Wizard, which guides you through key configuration settings and gets you well on your way to writing code at the speed of thought.
	Highest Quality Code
	As a developer, you know that quality code is important. The more bugs you have, and the longer a bug lives, the lower the overall quality. That's why we built the revolutionary Debug Visualizer, which helps you find and understand bugs significantly faster. Add to this CodeRush's integrated spell checker (for identifiers, strings, and comments), our code analyzers, code coverage, the world's fastest test runner and optimally efficient refactorings, and you've got all the tools you need to keep your code at the highest quality.
Fast and Lightweight
CodeRush uses less memory, works faster, and lets you start Visual Studio faster and open solutions faster than competing tools, so you can spend more time developing and less time waiting. CodeRush's architecture automatically supports new C# and VB language features the moment they become available in Visual Studio. With CodeRush you get a faster and leaner development experience, shaving tens of seconds off solution load time and freeing up hundreds of megabytes of RAM, without getting in your way. And CodeRush's .NET Test Runner is currently the fastest in the world, more than twice as fast as the test runner built into Visual Studio.

CodeRush Feature Overview

Coding Assistance

Create new code more efficiently with intelligent code generation. Hundreds of smart template shortcuts (like VS code snippets on steroids) provide easy access into quickly creating just the code you need, intelligently adapting to surrounding code and/or exploiting code on the clipboard. CodeRush's Deep Declare intelligently declares missing types and members automatically. And Selection Embedding instantly places selected code inside try/finally, try/catch, using statements, braces, and more.

Code Analysis

The Static Code Analysis engine detects common errors in your code and advises how to fix them.

Navigation Assistance

Quickly find symbols and files in your solution and easily navigate to code related to the current context. CodeRush includes various navigation features to help find what you need fast and easy.

Debugging Assistance

CodeRush makes it easier to see what's going on with complex code, so you can move forward and spend less time wandering and wondering. How did that expression get its value? When did that local value change? What arguments are we passing into this method? How many times have we been through this loop? CodeRush's compelling new debug visualizer effortlessly and instantly answers these questions, and more.

Refactoring Assistance

Quickly make your code more readable and maintainable. CodeRush provides over 100 refactorings and code providers, including Move Type to File, Optimize Namespace References, Add Missing Constructors and more, designed to simplify code, improve readability, and increase flexibility. And CodeRush Refactorings come with a streamlined user interface built directly into the Visual Studio editor - no modal dialogs to block your code or slow you down.

Testing Assistance

The blazingly fast Test Runner automatically detects unit tests for NUnit, xUnit, MSpec and MSTest frameworks, and can optionally run tests located across multiple assemblies concurrently. The CodeRush Test Runner also runs .NET Core test cases.

Using CodeRush's Analyze Code Coverage feature, you can discover what parts of your solution are covered by unit tests, and quickly find the at-risk parts of your architecture.

Pricing

You can experience CodeRush free, for 30 days. Full licenses start at $49 for a one-year subscription. All subscription plans include a lifetime license to the product and a year of free updates (updates ship about every 45 days).

What's New in the latest version

File-scoped Namespace Style Support for C# 10

You can now apply Visual Studio namespace declaration preferences and corresponding settings from your .editorconfig file in code cleanup. This setting specifies file-scoped or block-scoped namespace body styles for C# 10.

To apply the namespace declarations style to your code during cleanup, enable the "Apply namespace declaration style" code cleanup rule on the Editor | C# | Code Cleanup options page:
