CodeRush
CodeRush is a Visual Studio extension for code generation, refactoring, navigation, formatting, debugging, testing, and code coverage. It includes more than 100 refactorings and intelligent code providers, with refactoring support described for C#, Visual Basic, and XAML. Its test runner supports NUnit, MSTest, xUnit, and MSpec without configuration, plus .NET Core, .NET Framework, and multi-target projects. Code style can be set for an individual developer, a solution, or a team, and cleanup can run when documents are saved. The listed IDEs are Visual Studio 2026 and Visual Studio 2022. CodeRush is available free for commercial use, with the same features and updates across free and paid subscriptions. A paid plan is listed from $249.99/user/yr, and a 30-day trial is listed. AI features require an OpenAI API key; voice input requires an Azure Cognitive Services Speech API key. Technical support is available to owners of qualifying DevExpress subscriptions; free users can search the support database.
