Use Smart Cut and Copy in JavaScript and TypeScript code.

Features

JavaScript & TypeScript Support

• Now, you can use Smart Cut & Copy in JavaScript and TypeScript code.
• This release includes a pre-release set of templates for JavaScript and TypeScript development that make it easy to declare classes, functions, variables, code blocks, expressions and more. These templates are expected be refined and evolve over the coming releases.

Member Sections

• CodeRush templates can place generated members in dedicated target sections for those members. A member section can start with a comment or be contained inside a region. You can define target sections using the Region or Comment group buttons on the Organize Members option page.
• You can specify the text for the target comment or region.
• CodeRush templates will generate well-organized code according to your team's rules and settings.

Performance Improvements

• You can improve CodeRush performance by creating native images using NGEN.exe.
• If NGEN performance improvements are available, you'll see a notification near the top of the IDE.
• You can compile assemblies once for this install, do it automatically after each update, or disregard the suggestion and never see it again.
• NGEN compilation is performed in a separate process so you can close Visual Studio or keep it running after you start. Compilation progress is updated in the notification area if Visual Studio is running.

Rich Comments

• This release includes a new feature which gives Visual Studio developers the ability to effortlessly embed images, diagrams, formulas, tables, etc., inside source code (C#, F#, JavaScript, TypeScript, Visual Basic, XAML, HTML, CSS, and XML). You can paste any image from the clipboard, or reference a local file in markdown.
• Embedded images can be scaled and cropped, and work seamlessly with Visual Studio. Embedded images are great for explaining complex code, signposting important classes and functions, communicating with team members, bringing new team members up to speed faster, and more.

Code Analysis

• You can now set options to determine how the Possible System.NullReferenceException diagnostic performs its analysis in methods, properties, parameters and fields.
• Added the "Task.Factory.StartNew usage can be dangerous" code diagnostic, warning when unsafe methods are used to start a new thread.

Other Improvements

• Move to Region can now position methods alphabetically. To try this, on the Move to Region options page, set "Inside regions, place newly-moved members" to Alphabetically.
• The Move to Region UI now allows you to select target regions from a tree menu (regions are shown in the same hierachical order they appear in code).
• With new HTML context providers, you can customize your own HTML-specific CodeRush features like shortcuts, templates, selection embeddings.
