    Constructors Made Easy with JustCode

    Constructors are a necessary element of class design that typically involves repetitive work. Language teams try to reduce verbosity by moving patterns into language features. Where this terseness doesn’t exist, tools such as Telerik JustCode can alleviate some of the work to make a smooth coding experience. Today, I will introduce a few features that make creating constructors easier. Blank Slate Let’s start with a simple Employee entity class.   public class Employee { public int Id { get; set; } public string FirstName { get; set; } public string LastName { get; set; } ...

Back then we shared with you our core vision for the product – we were not interested in launching just another .NET profiler, but a tool that will help developers build more performance and resource efficient applications and thus increase the business value of their products.  Some of our core objectives include: A profiler that is a stand-alone solution yet a natural fit for Visual Studio Three distinct profilers – Memory, Performance and Tracing – that give...

    The Importance of Good Tools

    Making a slight deviation from the more code-happy posts I normally do, I want to take a chance to talk about something which is very important to .Net developers, specifically those of us working in the Xaml space – the importance of tooling in a development environment. (Hint, the above image was edited using a Telerik Xaml tool!) Good Tools As developers, these help us to create better products, internal applications, and websites.  With them we can achieve better results faster, complete with more code coverage for tests and better looking UIs on top of it all, all while making a more efficient...
