codetools

About this tag
The codetools tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about code analysis and development tools, with a focus on Microsoft's Project Roslyn. This project exposes the C# and VB compilers' analysis engines through APIs, enabling developers to build code-aware tools and extensions. Topics include parsing, semantic information retrieval, data and control flow analysis, and scripting. The tag is relevant for developers interested in leveraging compiler APIs to analyze and generate source code, particularly in the context of Windows development.
  1. Windows 7 Going Deeper with Project Roslyn: Exposing the C# and VB compiler’s code analysis

    Until now, the VB and C# compilers have been used as black boxes. You put text in, and you get out a binary file. In our long-lead project, codename "Roslyn," we are changing that dynamic by building an API that exposes our compilers' analysis engines. In this session, we'll go in-depth in...
