Why CodeRush Extract Partial View doesn't work? - refactoring

This is the feature to which I'm referring to.
Here you can see it's enabled:
But actually it doesn't work:
I've also Resharper and Web Essentials installed on my PC.
Any suggestion?

This appears to be a bug.
Could you please file an issue in our Support Center (http://www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/) and our support team will be very happy to explore this with you.

Code Definition Window not working in VS2015

Just upgraded to Visual Studio 2015 and the Code Definition Window is not working.It just says "No definition selected" no matter what I select. Project is Windows Forms written in C#.
Go to Definition and Peek Definition are working fine
Went back to VS2013 to try it out and it's still working there
Tried to make a brand new project in VS2015 to see if it was project related, but it was not
Checked with a couple of colleagues and it wasn't working for them either
I have a feeling this is either a bug in VS2015 or some sort of configuration change.
Anyone found a way to configure it, or any sort of work around to get it up and running again?
I got a reply from Microsoft on my Bug report. Turns out it's not implemented and possibly never will be:
Hi,
Based on the fact that Peek Definition was introduced in VS2013,
combined with telemetry data that shows that only a tiny percentage of
users ever display the Code Definition Window, we decided not to
implement support for it as part of Roslyn. I've filed an issue on our
GitHub project to consider resurrecting it.
Thanks for the report!

HereĀ“s the github issue Kevin created in response to my bug report in July: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/issues/4224
Looks like they just merged a fix for this into Roslyn:

code highlighting

I want code highlighting like visual studio.
If user is attaching a code snippept in the article i want to hightlight the code exactly like what visual studio will do.
How can we achieve this.
For example google-code-pretify. If you are not talking about code that is contained in a website but e.g. in a desktop application, you should clarify your question.

Does this tool do what you want?
If you're in PHP you can also use FSHL: http://code.google.com/p/fshl/. Examples are included.

Is there anything like Eclipse Perspective in Visual Studio?

I was wondering if there's anything like Eclipse Perspectives in Visual Studio (2008 or 2010).
For those unfamiliar with Eclipse, here's a definition of Perspectives:
A perspective is a visual container
for a set of views and editors
(parts). These parts exist wholly
within the perspective and are not
shared. A perspective is also like a
page within a book. It exists within
a window along with any number of
other perspectives and, like a page
within a book, only one perspective is
visible at any time.
Let me give you a visual example:
Java Perspective:
SVN Repository Perspective:
Maybe there is nothing like that straight out of the box, but with some plugin. If that's the case, it'll also be a valid answer.
Thanks for your time.
I used Brian's blog post as a starting point and made a VS2010 extension: http://perspectives.codeplex.com/
More info here: http://csharpening.net/blog/?p=292
It's probably not as complete as the VSWindowManager but lets you save your configurations and create new ones. Let me know if it works out!
I found this http://vswindowmanager.codeplex.com/ but it's for 2005.. there is a branch for 2008 in the source code but i don't know if it works... I think I'll give it a try and post any results...
It would be great if it works also for 2010!!! When you work in 1024*768 it's really annoying to rezise the windows every two seconds!!!
Good luck!!
You can check out my blog post which provides the ability to list and switch window layouts in Vs2008 and Vs2010: http://www.brianschmitt.com/2010/09/save-and-change-tool-layout-in-visual.html

Are there any add-ons for Visual Studio to help manage todo comments?

Our solution has a lot of todo comments, but unfortunately it seems the only way to sort them is by file. Sorting by project would give me a much better overview of what I'm actually responsible for. Just wondering if there's any way to do this or any add-ins that provide better functionality.
Resharper 4.0 does this for you. They have a "To-do Explorer". Uses comments to find TODO, Note and Bug comments.
Edit:
Here is a link to the actual feature.
I ended up just using trusty find-in-files for todo: which can be limited to the current project or a user defined folder set. Your wallet may vary.

BlogEngine.Net Code Formatting Extension that works?

For months now I've been trying to find a code syntax formatting extension that works for BlogEngine.Net. I'm not fond of the behavior of the default formatting extension, and have tried a couple of others (manoli is among them), but they always seem to interact badly with the TinyMCE editor. Does anyone know of an extension that works, or a different approach that will allow me to make code samples pretty on my blog without hacking the crap out of the HTML myself?
Thanks.
I would try using Windows Live Writer along w/ the Paste From Visual Studio plugin. One you go WLW, you'll never go back to that damn TinyMCE interface.
WLW here:

Plugin here:

Thanks, Rafe. Thanks to this post that Hanselman put up the day after I asked the question, I downloaded WLW and am now using it. As far as getting prettily formatted code, I'm using cut-and-paste from a little tool developed and available on manoli.net.
Check out SyntaxHighlighter.. Works excellent. For easy integration into BlogEngine have a look at my blog post.
