@D.P.Bullington,
What R# build number do you use? Please mail me directly Kirill[dot]Falk@jetbrains[dot]com

I am using the latest 5.1 bit of R# and experience VS 2010 hangs in WPF editor mode on very small XAML files. It is getting to the point where it is a deal breaker. I can provide code and memory dumps of devenv.exe when this occurs. Let me know if you want them.

If one record in a data driven unit test is failing, I cannot see at which record the test fails. In TD I can see the value for the parameters causing the failing, in VS I can get a list of every single value.
Did I overlook this in R#?

@Luedi,
Structural Search and Replace will most definitely support VB.NET
As to your other suggestions, we’ll think about them. We’ve got some ideas reg. replacing VS standard VB formatting features but no specific plans yet.

@Jura Gorohovsky

maybe you should think about writing an own VB editor as Visual Studio plugin. I mostly work on C# projects, but currently have to migrate some VB6 applications to VB.NET. The VB editor has some annoying features which MS propagate as comfort functions:

- The permanent background compile decreases the performance, specially on large files and if there are many errors in the solution. Sometimes it feels like the background compile is in conflict with R# background code analysis.
- Why the hell does the compiler stops to compile after 100 errors? (i think this is “feature” of vbc.exe)
- The automatic code formatting sucks. Unfortunately R#’s VB formatting has also errors (i had entered a jira / youtrack issue a year ago on these issues, but nothing happened until now)

Beneath these issues it would be great when you can enable “Structural Find And Replace” for VB. In my current project i have to replace OCX-Controls by their .NET versions. The interface of the controls have changed dramatically. So i have to walk through the code and change the calls manually. Structural Find and replace would be a great thing to automate this annoying job.

If you can target these issues in the next R# release VB support for me will make a big step forward.

“We are still experiencing issues with the NUnit test runner which has appeared since some of the later 5.1 EAP builds.

When you have tests in an abstract base class, they are not run and show up as ignored.”

I can confim this is an issue for me as well. Please fix this, I had to downgrade to version 4.5 again.

It’s a pity these weren’t included in 5.1- they make us stop using R# formatter:

what’s more one them is marked Major and one Critical….

@Klaus Luedenscheidt

Extended VB support is one of our priorities for R# 6, along with JavaScript and CSS. Currently we’re looking to make a more complete feature coverage for VB9 and VB10, as well as a set of VB-specific inspections.

Whether or not we’re going to release any public builds before R# 6 EAP remains to be seen - we’ll see how things are going.

@Steven, Dejan

Thanks for reporting this.

We’ve got this bug tracked at http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/RSRP-185948 and http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/RSRP-186146

We are also experiencing the problem of not being able to run tests that are defined in an abstract base class. This used to work in 5.0. What a pity…
