Santa Monica, California, March 02,
2007 — Koders Inc, the leading provider of open source and
enterprise code search solutions, today announced the addition of Microsoft source
code from the Visual Studio 2005 SDK V4.0 to its index of reusable open source
code. In addition to the Koders index of over 550 million lines of open source
code, Koders.com users will now be able to easily search, access and leverage source
code from the Visual Studio SDK and create powerful new extensions to the
Visual Studio platform. Developers
can immediately begin searching the new SDK code at www.koders.com and can download the entire
package here: http://www.microsoft.com/extendvs.
“Including the Visual Studio SDK in
the Koders.com index will enable more developers to build extensions for the
powerful Visual Studio IDE” said James Lau, Lead Program Manager, Visual
Studio Tools Ecosystem, Microsoft. “Version 4.0 of the Visual SDK SDK includes
more sample applications and code examples that make accessing the Visual Studio
APIs even easier. Code search is a great way to learn the APIs and discover
opportunities to innovate on top of the Visual Studio platform”
“We worked closely with the Visual
Studio SDK team to make this happen and believe it’s a great example of the way
Microsoft is reaching out to a broader developer audience, including open
source developers,” says Darren Rush, CEO and Founder of Koders. “We’re thrilled to be a code search provider
for the Visual Studio SDK today. We’ve
used it extensively for the development of our own Koders code search plugin
for Visual Studio. Now that the SDK
is available through Koders.com, it will be exciting to watch the new ways that
the community takes hold and innovates further.”
Koders.com is the Web’s most
comprehensive search engine for open source code. The Koders search engine
connects to all major version control systems, including CVS, Subversion,
Visual Source Safe, FileSystem, ClearCase, Perforce, Serena Dimensions, Team
Foundation System, Borland StarTeam and SourceGear Vault. Koders also offers free IDE plugins for
Visual Studio and Eclipse to extend dedicated code search to the desktop.
Koders IDE plugins feature SmartSearchTM, an innovative service that
automatically monitors the software application being developed and visually
notifies developers of opportunities to leverage existing code.
