Developer Express is happy to announce that Mark Miller, chief architect of our IDE Tools division, will be presenting a live MSDN Webcast on Tuesday at 12:00 PST (GMT-08:00). The online course will demonstrate how to extend Visual Studio with DXCore* plug-ins.

The session will start with an overview of the architecture, followed by three live coding demos showing:

* How to paint on the VS editor.

* How to replace the VS clipboard ring with a really cool one.

* How to build a custom code metrics analysis tool.

The first demo will be in VB and the last two in C#.

Mark will be using both CodeRush & Refactor! to write code, so this will also be an opportunity for non users to see the kind of programming speed that is possible with CodeRush & Refactor! combined.
