Rename Refactoring

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better by providing unobtrusive, real-time rename refactorings. No more dialogs. No more search and replace. Just fast cross-project, cross-language refactoring with support for C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, XAML, ASP.NET, and HTML.

Code Formatting

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better by giving developers more control over code formatting and making it easy to share code formatting settings across development teams. Prefer opening braces on a new line? Want a space between all method arguments? Just set your preferences and let JustCode apply your formatting to file, project, or even your entire solution.

Color Identifiers

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better by making it possible to uniquely color all identifiers in your code. Where Visual Studio gives you default text color, JustCode gives you rich color so you can quickly identify code elements in C#, VB.NET, and JavaScript.

Go To Definition

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better with fast GoToDefinition code navigation that works across languages. Visual Studio navigation only works for C# and VB.NET. JustCode improves navigation for C# and VB.NET, and also delivers support for JavaScript and XAML.

Code Templates

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better by making it easy to create and use code templates. Visual Studio snippets are useful, but they are difficult to add and edit, and they have limited language support. JustCode templates work with all languages and are easy to manage directly from Visual Studio. Cut-out keystrokes and just create code faster.

Unit Testing

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better by putting all unit test information in a single, easy-to-use window with full support for MS Test, NUnit, XUnit, MBUnit, and MSpec. Visual Studio scatters unit test functions across multiple tool windows, and it only supports MS Test execution. Many versions of Visual Studio 2005 and 2008 have no unit test support. Just write tests and execute quickly with JustCode.

Organize Usings

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better with a single command for quickly removing unused namespace references, adding missing references, and sorting what remains. Visual Studio requires multiple time wasting commands to achieve similar results. JustCode will even add missing assembly references automatically.

Code Analysis

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better by conducting real-time code analysis of all files in your solution, quickly highlighting errors and warnings without introducing IDE lag. Visual Studio only analyzes open C# and VB.NET files. JustCode analyzes C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, XAML, HTML, and ASP.NET, and it gives you easy control over the errors and warnings you care about.

Quick Fixes

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better with extensive Quick Fix options that work across all languages. Visual Studio quick fixes only work with C# and VB.NET, and they only assist with a very limited range of problems. JustCode Quick Fixes work in C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, XAML, ASP.NET, HTML, and even XML.

Find Usages

play

JustCode makes Visual Studio better by making it easy to find and highlight usages across all languages in your solution, providing results in a filterable, groupable interface. Visual Studio's limited Find Usages support only works with C# and VB.NET, and it provides results in an unhelpful list foramt. JustCode Find Usages works in C#, VB.NET, JavaScript, and XAML, and provides direct access to type definitions.
