LINQ over C# project

New Post: Status

INovak — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:09:54 GMT

Hey, Jake,

I have plans to go on with the project and complete it, but right now I'm working on two other projects related to Visual Studio Extensibility (LearnVSXNow and VSXtra). I plan to return to this project in the autumn...

Bests,

István

Hello,

This looks like a great project, and I've been monitoring its status since last fall, but development seems to have come to a halt. Are there plans to complete it?

Thanks,
Jake

NEW POST: Editing c#

mcintyre321 — Thu, 08 May 2008 16:20:12 GMT

Could this project eventually be used to edit the c# model that is built up? I have been looking for a tool that could be used to modify c# source code programmatically. Right now i have generated code which is overwritten when I re-execute the generator. I would like, for example, to be able to find a property in a generated class by name and then add an attribute definition to it.

CSharpParser v0.3.3.61 released!

This new version is the first release of CSharpParser supporting C# 3.0 syntax. This version will be built on .NET 2.0 with Visual Studio 2008. The new release only parses the syntax of C# 3.0 files, currently no semantic analysis is supported.

CSharpParser moved to Visual Studio 2008

I have moved CSharpParser to Visual Studio 2008. I know, it is not a good new for those who used the source code under VS 2005, but it is a real time-saving thing for me while developing C# 3.0 syntax parsing.

More samples to come...

I have announced a "mini C# Parser competition" among the members of the Hungarian Architect Forumto create samples of CSharpParser applications. The "competition" has been closed and samples are about to put into the existing C# Parser samples.

Document tab added to the CodeExplorer

CSharpParser now supports an initial version of parsing XML documentation comments. The CodeExplorer sample has been expanded with a "Documentation" tab where documentation comments of the selected language element can be read.

Brief project definition
The purpose of this project is to create a syntactical and semantical parser for C# compilation units that can be used together with LINQ as a solid base for refactoring and software QA tools. Right now the project is in an experimental phase. The planned phases are the followings:

Phase 1: Syntax parsing of C# compilation units, building up a syntax tree as a base for LINQ queries (Done!)
Phase 2: Semantical parsing of C# compilation units, building up a semantical tree as a base for LINQ queries (Under development)
Phase 3: Tuning - making the performance of parsing and LINQ queries better, polishing the C# compilation unit model toward cleaner queries

Future directions:

Not just parsing, but building up a C# compilation unit model
Tight integration with Visual Studio 2005/2008

Project documentation
To provide you with information about the project (e.g. how source code should be downoladed and used, how C# parser works, etc.) I put documents into this shared folder. Currently the following documents are available:

Parsing C# Code: Document describing how C# Parser of LINQ over C# works. This document is available in .pdf and .xps formats.

Project documents are updated between releases, so it is woth to check them regularly.

Releases

CSharpParser v0.3.3.61 released! Read the project documents above to use it.

Known Issues

Type parameter constraints are not fully checked.
Base class checking does not catches all declaration errors for generic classes
Members of partial types are not fully merged yet.

New release is expected to come on the 8th of January, 2008

This new version will be the first release of CSharpParser supporting C# 3.0 syntax. This version will be built on .NET 2.0 with Visual Studio 2008. C# 3.0 syntax parsing has already been implemented. You can try these new features by downloading the latest source code.

UncommentedMembers sample added to the project

I have added a sample console application demonstrating how to scan a C# project for missing XML comments. This application is very small and its functionality is quite simple, but you can have a feeling about how CSharpParser handles comments right now. When creating this sample, I have got new ideas about how comment handling would be even easier and simpler.

CSharpParser v0.2.2.48 released!

This release handles almost all type declaration checks. New features are the followings:

CompilationUnit supports loading project information from abstract project providers (through IProjectContentProvider interface). There is a first implementation for loading .csproj files.
CompilationUnit parses referenced .csproj projects and handles type and identifier references just as in case of referenced assemblies. For example when you parse the CodeExplorer.csproj project, the parser autometically parses the referenced CSharpParser.csproj project.
The parser fires a few notification events (like BeforeInitParse, AfterInitParse, BeforeParseFile, AfterParseFile, etc.)
The CodeExplorer sample utility has been extended with a sample to collect syntax parsing time information about source files using the events above.
