Messages to the Team

Thank you very much, guys!

Alexey Guryev — Wed, 15 May 2013 17:02:36 GMT

I've used this project due 3 years. And it's very very cool, I have no words... :)

Guys, really thank you!

Visual Studio is just heavy monster vs sharpdevelop.

But, only one thing hurt me every time - it's WinForms inheritance.

When I have the BaseForm and some form, which extends BaseForm - I open my ChildForm first and I got exception. The form is opened a second time.

Thank you Guys again!

Cannot find central directory

Sooraj007 — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 12:27:44 GMT

In my project i use the sharepoint to store zip files and then extract and store the files in the zip in a folder (same name as zip) both(.zip and the folder) at the same location in sharepoint. It worked fine for me except for some cases where the file is not getting extracted completly ie. if we have 5 files in the zip 3 gets extracted and so on. I get an error quoted below:

"Title:Cannot find central directory Url: ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipException: Cannot find central directory at ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipFile.ReadEntries() at ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipFile..ctor(String name) at ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.FastZip.ExtractZip(String zipFileName, String targetDirectory, Overwrite overwrite, ConfirmOverwriteDelegate confirmDelegate, String fileFilter, String directoryFilter, Boolean restoreDateTime) at ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.FastZip.ExtractZip(String zipFileName, String targetDirectory, String fileFilter)".

Can you please have a look into this.

Hoping for your speedy reply

Thanks and regards

Parse to Other InvocationExpression

Steve0212 — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 14:58:27 GMT

Consider the code below. I am searching my code for all InvocationExpression where the name is SetServiceName (using the string.IndexOf sample as an example). This works fine. What I would like to get to now is the SetRequestParm with the first parameter of "Mode". I am having difficulty trying to figure out how to do this. My thought was that I should be able to get to the object si, then find all of its invocations, and parse those invocation for an instance of SetRequestParm where the first parameter is "Mode".

However, I can't figure out how to do that.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

		public double GetSalesTax()
		{
			ServiceInterace si = new ServiceInterace();
			si.SetServiceName("GetTaxInfoWeb");
			si.SetRequestParm("Mode", "DoTaxes");

			si.SetRequestParm("State", "PA");

			si.RunWebService();

                        ...
		}

		public double GetHomeState()
		{
			ServiceInterace si = new ServiceInterace();
			si.SetServiceName("GetStateInfoWeb");
			si.SetRequestParm("Mode", "Home");

			si.RunWebService();

                        ...
		}

Method Callers

Steve0212 — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 19:40:59 GMT

I am new to NRefactory, but so far, I love it. Thanks for the great work on this! However, I have a question that I can't figure out.

First, I load project using the included sample solution and project classes (http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/408663/Using-NRefactory-for-analyzing-Csharp-code)
I then go through all the files in the solution and look for all InvocationExpression for the objects I care about just like the String.IndexOf sample
Once I find the call, I find the method name that the object invocation is contained in via invocation.GetParent<MethodDeclaration>()
Here is my problem. How can I use the MethodDeclaration returned to find all of the methods callers? This is even more complex because our code uses interfaces, so there may not be a direct call to that object, it could be to the interface.

I ultimately am looking for the root method of the library that calls the object. Given the tree below, I am searcing the project for all invocations of xyz and I want to return to Method1() as the root caller.

Method1()

--> calls Method2()

--> Method2 invokes object xyz.

A code sample or a better way to do this would be very helpful. As I said, I just started looking at NRefactory, so please give as much detail as possible.

Build Artefacts Site question

Ztgreve — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 19:51:46 GMT

I would like to use the Build Artefacts site you guys have on GitHub as a base for my own Build Artefacts site. Would you mind if I do that? I will give credit where credit is due.

And a few other things,

#Develop is an excellent application, keep up the good work! I am using some #D components in a small interactive script/code editor I am working on, and all of these components are easy(ish) to use. I am actually basing the solution layout on #D, with a SDA-style system and the various directories.

(This editor is also a learning platform for me, as this is the first actual WPF application I am working on.)

Automatically show designer on form/control class open

Silic0re — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 17:59:26 GMT

I spent some time trying to get #D to show the designer when double-clicking on the item in the project view. The best solution I could come up with is to add this line to the SharpDevelop.SharpDevelop.Gui.AvalonWorkbenchWindow.ViewContentCollection class:

In the method InsertItem(int, IViewContent):

Under the line: window.viewTabControl.Items.Add(oldPage)

I added the delegate:

window.viewTabControl.Loaded += delegate { window.SwitchView(1); };

Doing it anywhere else would try to switch the view before the designer was loaded, which caused problems trying to reference things (kept giving me a "Your project does not contain a reference to System.Drawing"...

I'm open to better ways to implement this, as it doesn't really care if it's a form/control designer or any other kind of secondary tab on the display, it automatically switches to it.

I need a user interface and ... for a calculation engine

finaquant — Fri, 24 Aug 2012 20:45:07 GMT

I have written a C#/.NET library (prototype) of table functions for a calculation engine. This is a calculation engine typically for fee calculations and financial planning.

The launch of the calculation engine as a software product is planned for the end of 2012. I want to concentrate on the table function library; I am rather a mathematician; not a software architect.

I need help to convert this library into a complete user application with components and solutions for things like:

A simple and utilitarian user interface with basic command line interface (C# and VB), database connection and script file management like LINQPad
Packaging and deployment
Code security and structure
License management; free trial version, adding paid extensions (i.e. libraries), automatic updates etc.

Could you recommend me some resources and experienced software architects for helping me?

Regards

BuildWorker40 hangs on windows 7 x64bit when building WPF or Silverlight project.

jackjoy — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 06:56:21 GMT

BuildWorker40 never return on Windows 7 x64bit when building WPF or silverlight project. It seems some problem with MSBuild, the code line :

BuildResult result = BuildManager.DefaultBuildManager.Build(parameters, request);

never returns, and hang there!

Windows SDK for Windows 8 & IntelliSense

FSchneidereit — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 07:37:27 GMT

I'm just curious... according to the release notes of the Windows SDK for Windows 8 (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/hh852363), IntelliSense, or more specifically the XML files for the .NET reference assemblies, are no longer part of the SDK.

Now, does this mean that IntelliSense in SharpDevelop will no longer work when using .NET 4.5/the newest Windows SDK? I have Visual Studio 2012 Professional installed and it still seems to come with the XML documentation files obviously, but I don't know what happens if you only have SharpDevelop & the Windows SDK for Windows 8 installed.

Anyone knows? And what does it mean to SharpDevelop when the XML documentation files are no longer available?

PS: The post thread form on this forum seems to have issues with Internet Explorer 9.

ILSpy LGPL GPL license MIT issue

laursenmartin2 — Thu, 02 Aug 2012 11:03:14 GMT

I would like to use ILSpy for corporate use. However I have some concern with the license. I specifically would not like the corporate software to be enabled for end users to resell to others or the source code becoming open source like in the GPL license. ILSpy comes under MIT license, but some of its dependencies comes under LGPL license.
I would like to use ILSpy at my clients to support C# code by
1) Open dll file from my own shipped code
2) Decompile dll file
3) Set breakpoint with debug plugin
4) Attach to a running process (my own shipped software)
5) Debug my own shipped software
At the client site we do not have the source code, so the above procedure looks very promising.
My company would like to have our clients either
a) Downloading ILSpy and then we use it at the client site to support our software
b) We provide a compiled ILSpy edition for them
However, I have heard some concerns regarding the MIT and LGPL license of ILSpy.
Especially as both points a) and b) may be regarded as ILSpy was shipped alongside our product. In the GPL license this would mean perhaps my software would have to become open-source. The LGPL seems to have been made specifically to avoid this pitfall, however there are still concerns.
The MIT license for instance mentions it makes the end user to have the right to resell maybe my software, even modify it. I do not want this for my software. I just want to use ILSpy alongside my software to be able to support it. I have not altered ILSpy software or referenced it in any of my companys code.
The MIT license and LGPL license also mentions one has to put copyright information inside ones own product.
Can you enlighten me on the licenses part in more detail?
I basically do not want to change the condition in any part of the corporate software by using ILSpy. If this is the case, I would not want to use ILSpy for my company at a client side. As far as I have understood it is not a problem when it is used internally, but the problem comes on the client side.
However one on the net said
The LGPL requires that modification of that library have to be open source. However, that the library can be linked to non-free code, and that non-free code can remain commercial and closed source.
When you take source code under the MIT license you may redistribute it under a close source license. The only requirement is all derived works must state that the MIT licensed component is copyright by the original author. Therefore JetBrains may take an MIT licensed DLL, link it to dotpeek, and only mention in their EULA and copyright notices that said MIT dll is copyright the original author.

Need some help with NRefactory

Geaz — Wed, 11 Jul 2012 16:29:15 GMT

Hello,

today I was trying to use NRefactory to parse some C# Code and get it's methods and callers. But got some problems with it.

First a little example of what i want to achive:

We got two classes:

public class TestCaller(){

public TestCaller(){

var tester = new Tester();

string s = tester.Test("testString");

if(s.Equals("test"))

{

TestSuccess();

}

else

{

TestFailed();

}

public void TestSucces()

{

...

}

public void TestFailed()

{

....

}

public class Tester()

{

public string Test(string s)

{

s = s.SubString(0, 3);

return s;

}

Now i want to parse this code to get a information tree like this:

1: FULLTYPECLASSNAME: TestCaller() -

METHODNAME/SIGNATURE : TestCaller()

|- calls Test on Type Tester() with Parameter ("testString") of Type string

|-if (s.Equals("test"))

|- calls TestSuccess() on Type TestCaller() without Parameters

|-else

|- calls TestFailed() on Type TestCaller without Parameter

2: - METHODNAME : TestSucces

|- ...

3: - METHODNAME : TestFailed

|- ...

4: FULLTYPECLASSNAME: Tester() - METHODNAME/SIGNATURE: Test(string s)

|- calls SubString on Type String with Parameters (0 and 3) of Type int

|- returns string s

I tried to use a VisitorObserver to get all visited Methods. This way i get all methods in the file.

Now i used the informations to implement an own Navigator which resolves only the methods. But i got the problem, that the navigator does not navigate through the code from top to bottom... is this behaviour normal? Is there an easier method to use for my use case?

I hope you understood my problem and are able to help me.

Regards,

Geaz

NRefactory 5 - Find all references

Samer — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 16:20:59 GMT

I need to use NRefactory to find all references of a type in a solution.

Given a .sln file, the .cs file containing the type I want to find references of, and the type name, how can I create an IEntity so I can call FindReferences.GetSearchScopes and FindReferences.FindReferencesInFile?

I looked at the CSDemo example of FindReferences, but it is based on a small code snippet, and not solutions with multiple projects and many C# files. I need to know how to go from a solution (.sln file) to NRefactory and then to call find references on a specific type.

Any help would be appreciated!

What is going to happen with SharpDevelop in Windows 8?

jchan — Sat, 26 May 2012 03:03:20 GMT

Apparently Microsoft is removing a lot of features from its free development tools, and requiring developers to purchase VS11 Pro if they want to develop non-Metro applications.

I'm concerned as to if SharpDevelop will still work, and if it will be able to develop non-Metro applications for Windows 8.

Thanks!

NRefactory and attributes(return: and param:) on properties getters and setters of an interface

Eusebiu — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 19:38:11 GMT

Hey guys,

I want to generate (the code for) an interface with a property and depending on the property type, I want to add the attributes [return: MarshalAs(...)] on getter and [param:MarshalAs(...)] on setter.

I have the source file and I parse it but I don't know how can I add these specific nodes to AST in order to regenerate the source code.

Regards,

Eusebiu

VS Solution & Project Object Model

Max — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 13:46:42 GMT

Hi, I would like to create a VS solution (sln file + csproj + source code) programmatically and after spending some times to search around, i didn't found any suitable object model, Microsoft wrapper around VS COM objects seems working only if a visual studio instance is running, so it does not suit my needs.

I know that SD implement an object model around solution & projects so my question is:

Can i use yours implementation of the Solution & project object model or it is dependant on other specific SD features?

Best Regards

method call extraction with nrefactory 5

polygox — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 22:06:51 GMT

Hi,

i need to extract calls and object creations from methods. In the doc/TODO file of the code, there is some related remark:

"For each method:

    Resolve whole method with ResolveVisitor
    Ensure there are no errors detected
    Extract list of methods being called (incl. op_Implicit etc.)

How would i achieve this extraction of a list of methods beeing called?

Thank you very much in advance for hints!

Adding casts with NRefactory (4 or 5)

Arakis — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 20:45:20 GMT

Hello,
i've converted a VB-Project to C#. It has no syntactical errrors, but lots of conversion errors. This project is very large, so adding the casts manually would be very much work. So the simple question is, how this could be performend with the nrefactoy-library, a small sample would be very cool. For example:

string num = 5; --> string num = 5.ToString();

Of course, every conversion combination have to be manually implemented by me, but i do not know, how do this with nrefactoy.

In the moment, my code is like this:

            CSharpParser parser = new CSharpParser();
            CompilationUnit unit = parser.Parse(larneFunctions.StringLoadFromFile("file1.cs"), "file1.cs");
            var parsedFile = unit.ToTypeSystem();
            cnt.UpdateProjectContent(null, parsedFile);

            //Perform casts now
            //..

            //done. output now.
            Console.WriteLine(unit.GetText());

Sebastian

GSoC 2012

andyleap — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:55:43 GMT

I'm just wondering if SharpDevelop is planning on participating in GSoC 2012.

I know it's a little early yet, but i wanted to get a head start on my application and start writing code.

Also, I'd like to know if my idea would be acceptable. I had in mind to make a new git addon, with built in support (i.e. don't need any version of git installed) I've downloaded a copy of ngit and have started playing around with it, and it works just fine. There's a few things that I think may need more work, i.e. rebase with squashing. But other then that it seems fairly functional, and would be a big improvement to have support for stuff like creating new branches, switching branches, pushing, and pulling, all from within SharpDevelop.

NRefactory 5.0 - too many break changes from Oct. 2011

jackjoy — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 06:42:30 GMT

After update to NRefactory 5.0 Dec. version, hundreds of errors occurred.

There are too many things changed , e.g, CompositeTypeResolveContext dispeared, ITypeResolveContext interface changed.

After 2 hours' try, i still could not make my code to work with the new version and i gave up finally.

Any suggestions and guidelines ?
