JustCode provides fast, solution-wide real-time code analysis and error checking, unobtrusive code navigation, and smart refactoring

Waltham, MA, November 18, 2009 – Telerik, the leading vendor of development tools and user interface components for .NET, today announced the release of its JustCodeÔ add-in for Microsoft Visual StudioÒ 2005 and 2008. A fast, agile, multi-language solution, JustCode is designed to increase developer productivity through real-time code analysis, unobtrusive code navigation, and smart refactoring.

“Enhancing our portfolio with an indispensible productivity tool like JustCode marks another milestone in our efforts to minimize development complexity and coding time for .NET developers,” said Hristo Kosev, Telerik CTO. “When working with large solutions, peak performance is essential; add-ins that slow Visual Studio are intolerable. We saw the need for a tool that improves productivity without compromising performance and designed JustCode to work for developers without infringing on Visual Studio’s operational speed. We believe that JustCode will be a valuable part of every developer .NET toolbox.“

JustCode’s greatest benefits lie within its solution-wide analysis module. The module works incrementally in a separate background process, allowing it to work rapidly while leaving Visual Studio’s processes unaffected by analysis tasks. As a result, Visual Studio remains responsive and unhindered by JustCode during editing.

By introducing a robust set of powerful features to Visual Studio, including coding assistance, code navigation, on-the-fly error highlighting, quick error correction and a growing catalog of helpful refactorings, JustCode increases developer productivity levels. All features can be accessed unobtrusively with minimal dialog use, facilitating quick and easy code modification without leaving the keyboard.

Additionally, with a cross-language code analysis engine, JustCode effortlessly handles solutions using multiple languages, undertaking code navigation and search, refactoring, and coding assistance for C#, VB.NET, XAML, ASP.NET, JavaScript, HTML, XML. JustCode also raises the bar for JavaScript productivity with its industry-leading support for JavaScript code analysis, code navigation, and refactorings.

Originally developed by software development and consulting firm, Omnicore, JustCode was acquired by Telerik in 2009. Omnicore’s company founders, who performed doctoral research in the area of code analysis, have since joined Telerik as part of its ongoing JustCode product development team.

Licensing and Availability

The first version of JustCode is now available, with a Beta go-live license. The product will be launched commercially in Q1 2010. Additional information and complete download instructions are available online at www.telerik.com/justcode.

About Telerik

Telerik is a leading vendor of ASP.NET AJAX, Silverlight, WinForms and WPF controls and components, as well as .NET Reporting, .NET ORM and .NET CMS solutions. Building on its expertise in interface development and Microsoft technologies, Telerik helps customers build applications with unparalleled richness, responsiveness and interactivity.

In this release we included lots of new tools, including navigational controls, like RibbonBar(Silverlight WPF), OutlookBar(Silverlight WPF); rich UI(visual) components like TileView(Silverlight WPF), Book, Map; Commands support with our Button controls(Silverlight WPF).

With our upcoming Q3 2009 release you can use RadCompression (part of Telerik.Web.UI.dll) to compress your RIA services.

RadGridView now features Vertical and Horizontal UI Virtualization with container recycling added for rows and cells. Thus, the performance and the responsiveness of the control has become 5x faster. The control also provides an extended Validation support by adding metadata driven validation (via data annotations attributes) and validation events that allow support for custom validation.

As you know there have been a Silverlight Contest moderated by Telerik for the best Silverlight application developed based on Telerik’s products.

My application took the 2nd place! Here are the results (http://www.telerik.com/community/silverlight-contest.aspx)

1. With 10  rows of data. It is just not usable as scrolling takes long time. that is just for starters

2. I dont want to display any RowIndicator for the inner RadGridView. The property  “RowIndicatorVisibility” works correctly when set to “Collapsed” on the outer RadGridView when you add this property to the Inner RadGridView. you dont see any data in the Inner RadGridView

3. When the filter is applied, the inner RadGridView will not display any data

One of those major educating applications that Telerik delivers is the Telerik Sales Dashboard. It has been built on top of WPF and Silverlight keeping in mind the MVVM design pattern (Model-View-ViewModel) and Prism (Modularity, UI composition, global events, commanding, etc …)
