JustCode! Now in .NET 4.0!

In the past we’ve taken great pride in the new and exciting features we’ve added to our JustCode product. Be it the ability to run JavaScript unit tests in the same test runner as your C# and VB.Net code or the ability to debug decompiled code right in Visual Studio, the team has made pushing the envelope and delivering great innovative features a habit. And more great stuff is on the way!

Recently the team upgraded JustCode to .NET 4.0 and upgraded the way JustCode integrates with Visual Studio by changing our MEF infrastructure. This change will enable JustCode to use the new Visual Studio API, allowing JustCode to take advantage of the new features in the API and .NET 4.0. Upgrading JustCode to .NET 4.0 also enables us to use the newest Telerik WPF controls (which themselves are based on .NET 4.0) to keep JustCode looking great and keeping the UI responsive.

Unfortunately change can sometimes be disruptive, and if you’ve been developing extensions for JustCode you may experience a breaking change with these updates.

Luckily fixing these changes are easy:

1. Change the [assembly: SupportsCodeModelApiVersion(2)] in your AssemblyInfo to [assembly: SupportsCodeModelApiVersion(3)]
2. Change the reference to System.ComponentModel.Composition in JustCode binaries to the 4.0 one shipped with .NET (this will be somewhere in the C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET directory depending on which version of the framework you are using)
3. Build your extensions for .NET 4.0
