SharpDevelop Community

Today I retired the initial Wiki (which only remained online for the book errata; we are now actually at Wiki #3), as well as the initial forum. Both resources [/heyhey/wiki/ and /opensource/sd/forums/] were available read-only anyways. The old URLs now redirect to our new and active installations. The...

A small but highly visible bug went unnoticed for the official 2.2.1 release: When creating a new project, ${USER} ${DATE} in the standard header etc. was not replaced with values. Thus we decided to release an 2.2.1a version that contains a fix for this templates-related issue.

Daniel is currently working on areas such as project subsystem or code completion (aside from fixing bugs). Therefore, work on the WPF designer is stalled. But Daniel put together a list of tasks (hard, medium & easy) that you could be helping us with. So if you are interested in helping, and want...

Over the past months we made a couple of feature changes in SharpDevelop 3 (currently alpha status). One major change is that we moved NAnt and Mono support from the binary distribution (aka "setup") to the source code distribution. You can find the addins ready to build in the \samples directory...

An issue that initially came up in 2006 ( Unable to compile #develop: access denied ) "resurfaced" on our contributors mailing list because one of our developers ran into this very problem that McAfee blocks access to our Main\StartUp folder: The problem and a workaround is described in McAfee...

In continuing to list changes to SharpDevelop 3, we are going to talk about the code coverage addin in SharpDevelop 3 "Montferrer" in this blog post. Previously, the addin used NCover for calculating code coverage (this is a metric you gain by writing unit tests). However, recently NCover was...

This question came up for example in the thread SharpDev 2.2.x on BuilderServer (this thread was started because we ceased to automatically build v2.2 on 1/11/2008). The answer is Yes . Development of SharpDevelop 2.2 stopped with revision 2675 (8/28/2007), which is three revisions higher than the officially...

A change that happened rather early in the development process of SharpDevelop 3.0 (revision 2658, 8/13/2007) was that we replaced NDoc (a stalled open source project) with Sandcastle Help File Builder (SHFB) . SHFB looks and feels similar to NDoc, however, it builds on top of Sandcastle , a documentation...

In addition to our presence on SourceForge ( project page ) we now also set up shop at CodePlex ( project page ). The motivation for this step is to increase awareness about SharpDevelop, and how parts of SharpDevelop can be reused in other applications / scenarios.

Running SharpDevelop on USB thumb drives has been possible for a long time. What is new in version 3.0 though is that the settings that usually go into the user's profile can live directly on the memory stick - allowing you to take your settings with you at all times. Here is the procedure: Download...
