Solution Filtering
The solution filtering feature allows to narrow the code review scope to using the
following options:
-
Analyze files modified Today/This Week/Last 2 Weeks/This Month
– so you can set the relative date once and not have to change the date every day
-
Analyze files modified since specific date
-
Analyze files opened in Visual Studio tabs
-
Analyze files checked out from the source control
-
Analyze only specific files – only include the files that match
a list of file patters like *Core*.cs or Modules\*. See this
KB post for the file path patterns details and examples.
New Review Code commands
We have changed the Start Analysis menu to Review Code – still the same feature and
the new name is just highlighting the automated code review nature of the product.
Also added the following Review Code commands:
-
Analyze Open Files menu - analyze only the files opened in Visual Studio tabs
-
Analyze Checked Out Files menu - analyze only files that that are checked out from
the source control
 Improved
Profile Editor
The Profile Editor now features
-
Advanced rule filtering by rule id, title, name, severity, scope, target, and programming
language
-
Allows to quickly show only active, only inactive or all rules in the profile
-
Shows totals for the profile rules - total, active, and filtered
-
Improved adding rules with multiple categories
Summary Report
The Summary Report tab provides an overview of the analyzed source code quality, it
includes the high level summary of the current analysis information, filters, violation
summary, top N violation, solution info and metrics. Additionally it provides detailed
list of violations and excludes.
The report is self-contained – no external dependencies, everything it requires is
included within the html file. This makes it very easy to email the report to someone
or publish it on the team portal – see example.
The Summary Report is based on an ASP.NET Razor markup within the Summary.cshtml template.
This makes it very easy for you to customize it to your needs.
You will find the summary report API documentation in the help file – CodeIt.Right
–> Help & Support –> Help –> Summary Report API.

Note to current Standard Edition users – in version 2.0 we have added
"Standard" edition name to all folder locations (Program Files, My Documents, etc)

We published two updates this morning:
-
CodeIt.Right v1.9.10111 - both Standard and Enterprise editions. This is a
minor update, primarily bug fixes. Not a required update unless you are experiencing
some rule issues or unhandled errors this update might fix.

New setup for TestMatrix - we have created a brand new setup for TestMatrix
to replace the often confusing "silent" version. New setup experience is very much
the same as all our other products. Version hasn't of the product hasn't changed.

-
Today we are releasing new version of CodeIt.Right -
build 1.8.09300.
This version features complete ASP.NET support, it is compatible with VS2010
Beta 2 (in addition to VS2008, VS2005, VS2003), Add Rule dialog improvements
- "Hide Rules in the Profile" and "Quick Search", 10+ new rules including new category
"CodingStyle".
Those of you who are using CodeIt.Right with very large solutions may know of
the memory limitation issue for the tools that live in the Visual Studio address space,
aka "Out of Memory" exceptions. You will be excited to know we have addressed the
issue in this version by introducing new "Memory Optimization" mode.
The "Performance mode" is still on by default since it offers a little faster analysis
but CodeIt.Right will offer to switch to the "Memory Optimization" option when
you open a large solution or get the dreaded "Out of Memory" exception. You also are
free to switch between the options manually.
Another change we made - we removed Sealed modifier for all built-in rules.
This gives you even easier way to extend and customize existing rules by simply overriding
just the methods you wanted changed. Over the next couple of weeks we
will be adding a tutorial on how to do that. Ping
us if you want this sooner.
This
update is free for all users who are current on their Software
Assurance and Gold Support Subscription

![Click for a full-sized image]()
As you may know yesterday Microsoft
released VS2010 Beta 1 to MSDN Subscribers. The Beta will also be publicly available
for the rest of the world on Wednesday. This is long expected and very exciting new
version of Visual Studio; and we here at SubMain are fully prepared to support the
new shiny version!
While some companies make a big deal posting screenshots of the upcoming VS2010 versions
and announcing availability of previews for their products within a month,
we at SubMain have been working hard to give our customers a new fully VS2010 compatible
version on the day of VS2010 Beta 1 release!
So ... today, within the 24 hours of the VS2010 Beta 1 availability, you can download
new version of CodeIt.Right that runs in VS2010 (as well as VS2008, VS2005, VS2003)
and fully understands the syntax changes in C# 4.0 and VB10! This is just of the many
new features that come with this release - you can see the long list below.
Another great feature added in this version is the template based rules. We currently
support T4 templates. The template based rules are simpler and more flexible
alternative to writing custom rules using CodeIt.Right
SDK.
![Click for a full-sized image]()
Over the next couple of weeks we will be adding a tutorial on how to use and customize
T4 templates in CodeIt.Right. Ping us if
you want this sooner.

not shipped with VS2010 Beta 1. The rule documentation help work fine in VS2008, VS2005
