Roslyn Cookbook

Use Roslyn as a service to write powerful extensions and tools and use them in Visual Studio to improve code quality and maintain your source code more ffectively.

About This Book

• Use Roslyn extensions and tools in Visual Studio to enforce "house rules" on code and fix security and performance vulnerabilities in your code.
• Write Roslyn extensions using the Roslyn service API to help developers enforce conventions and design idioms.
• Improve developer productivity by using Roslyn-based agile development features in Visual Studio, such as live unit testing, C# interactive and scripting.
• Contribute to the C# language and compiler tool chain to analyze and edit code.

Who This Book Is For

.NET Developers and architects, who are interested in taking full advantage of the Roslyn based extensions and tools to improve the development processes, will find this book useful. Roslyn contributors, i.e. the producers and C# community developers, will also find this book useful
