Getting whitespace right with Roslyn CSharpSyntaxRewriter
Most agree that Roslyn is a great C# code analysis and refactoring tool. One particularly powerful tool Roslyn has is it’s CSharpSyntaxRewriter [1]. The rewriter allows you to walk down the namespaces and classes of a project and add and edit code where necessary. While the documentation here [2] and the RoslynQuoter [3] can comeContinue reading “Getting whitespace right with Roslyn CSharpSyntaxRewriter”
Benchmarking analysis accuracy for MVVM code
One of the key motivators for developing XamRight was to have a tool that would support a wide range of MVVM patterns in Xaml development without requiring additional configuration.

Program analysis for XAML
Xamarin.Forms is a great platform for building a wide range of apps. XAML and data binding make layouts a lot clearer than writing it in C#, and it saves a ton of code. But the development process has some gotchas that wouldn’t be there in a pure C# app. When working in C#, you getContinue reading “Program analysis for XAML”
