The more I look at mono on linux I'd love to see a C# language plugin for
IDEA as well.

Take the borland route with their C++ Builder X - the IDE is all in java :)

We plan to open EAP for it soon. Within a month or even earlier. We are
working on such issues as obfuscating, license etc necessary for openning
it.

BTW, how many people here would be interested in such product (plugin for
Visual Studio with smart editor features, usage search, refactorings etc)?

It's definetely not planned to release a plugin for IDEA with C# support. As
a first step it will be a plugin for VS and will become a standalone product
later.

Writing IDE for C# in Java would have too much disadvantages. One of them is
that IDE needs an Open API and java Open API for C# product is nonsense IMO.
Also team working on C# product and writing in C# have more chances to
produce a usable product.

As soon as I get a .net project, I will definitely want it :)

I'd be interested in it.

Will it work with source code control?

In particular, I'm trying to use the AnkhSVN support to enable Visual Studio .NET to integrate with Subversion.

Note that MS is planning to add refactoring support in an upcoming version of Visual Studio.

This is probably Visual Studio's side not our plugin's. But we'll try to
integrate with Visual Studio's support of version controls.

Note that MS is planning to add refactoring support in an upcoming version

of Visual Studio.

Yes, of course. As well as such stuff as "Surround with..." and kind of live
templates which they consider as "refactorings" as well :)).

I have one small dotnet project, and if I ever need to do maintenance on
it, I'll definitely be wanting smart editor stuff. I tried some of the
refactoring tools already available, and well, they sucked.

Don't blame them, they are new to refactorings, they don't know yet exactly
what it means ;)

I would rather be interested in a standalone full IDE for C#, usable without a license of Visual Studio

I'm too! The refactoring is good way to be the same with your application
:). It independed on language you using :). IDEA first IDEA who show me
"live of application" and get ability to "change that live", i realy want to
see and try something same tool in other language!

BTW, that you thing about cross language refactorings? From java to C# and
back ;)

Thanks!

You know, IDEA started as a plugin to JBuilder, and today it's a full-blown, best of the market, IDE. Who knows what will happen to this tiny VS.NET plugin...

I would love to work with the .NET plugin. I develop C# apps daily and really miss many features available to Java developers in IDEA. More specifically:

- Refactoring
- Intellisense without being restricted to the VS project bloat
- Ablility to build an assembley with NAnt would be great also

The main problem I have developing in VS, aside from the bloated project structure, is VS simply doesn't know C# as well as IDEA knows Java. IDEA's ability to discover errors before compilation is a major plus.

Yes, we have NAnt support and probably will include it into the plugin.

IntelliSense support in a single-file model. When writing a class, I have to wrap the file in a VS project to use IntelliSense. The prefered single-file model, however, removes IntelliSense support.

- Yes, we have NAnt support and probably will include it into the plugin.


Great! This is very important with push towards msBuild in the next iteration of VS. I don't want to be constrained to a single build method.

I'm not sure I understood you correctly this time but we also need some
project structure to make it working. So does IDEA as well.

This is also a requirement from my side. I bought Visual C#.net back then and don't feel like updating it.

I don't have any .net projects currently, but who knows what future will bring. If I'd had some better support for refactorings etc. I would again start playing with C#, but with VS.net alone it's a pain so I don't do any C# development as long as I don't need to.

I'm eagerly awaiting this plugin - having recently switched from Java/IDEA to C#/VS.NET, I'm really missing a lot of the features IDEA had previously spoiled me with.

Could you give some approximation as to what percentage of IDEA functionality will make it to VS.NET through this plugin? Just some of the things that come to mind now that I am missing are

  • IDEA's superb highlighting of errors and warnings (and the bar on the right-side of the editor that shows where they are in the entire document)

  • refactorings, refactorings, refactorings, refactorings!

  • find usages

  • Ctrl-N / Ctrl-Shift-N

  • templates

  • advanced code-coloring options like being able to distinguish between arguments, fields, local variables and constants.


Do you guys have an approximate actual release date yet or is it too soon to tell? and what kind of price-point are you shooting for when this plugin is released?

btw: one feature that's in VS.NET that you may want to consider adding to IDEA is how it auto-formats code when you close a block ("}"). This helps a lot when you manually add if/while/try constructs around a piece of code. I know IDEA's "surround with" does the extra indentation as well but sometimes it's easier to just add the code manually...

I agree with fbellomi. I'd love to get into C# development with IDEA, however I'm not interested in spending a small fortune on the VS.NET license. Not to mention I'd much rather give my money to JetBrains than Microsoft anyhow.

The impression I get is that JetBrains are intending to creating a C# IDE in the mould of IntelliJ IDEA (maybe IntelliC IDEA?? ;)) which could be exactly what people like fbellomi and myself are looking for.

Yes, we plan this.

  • refactorings, refactorings, refactorings, refactorings!


We plan to include at least a few the most important refactorings into the
first release.

  • find usages


Yes, of course.

  • Ctrl-N / Ctrl-Shift-N


Yes, of course.

  • templates


Yes.

Yes.

Release can be expected in Summer 2004. Licensing policy and pricing is not
defined yet.

Only if the feature set substantially surpasses whidbey's. In addition,
.net 2.0 support and integration with msbuild would be a requirement for us.

Of course, but it should be released at least.

it would be cool for us who are low on funds. A VS license is pretty expensive. Since it sounds like the plugin is almost done it probably wouldn't be feasable.
