Is there a way to configure ReSharper to add using references to a file within the appropriate namespace?
Currently it adds them to the top of the file, which is fine, until you want multiple namespaces in the same file.
For example, I would like it to be like the following:
namespace A
{
using System;
// other classes
}
Options > Code Editing > C# > Namespace Imports:
Insert using directives when necessary > Add using directive to the deepest scope.
Just to bring an up to date answer here as I was wanting to do this but not having R# (ReSharper) installed...
Its now available from Visual Studio 2019 directly since the 16.1 Release.
I found this on developercommunity.visualstudio.com
The code style to include using directives inside or outside a namespace was added in Visual Studio 2019 update 16.1. You can now set your preference in Tools > Options > Text Editor > C# > Code Style or in an EditorConfig file and the IDE can apply it through messages, warnings, or errors depending on the severity you specify in the code style rule

I am using Visual Studio version 1.74.2 and it is not auto-completing attributes.
I have used many extensions like intellisence, Auto Close Tag, HTML CSS Support.
look at the emmet configuration.
Go to settings, and type "emmet".
Example : Normally in your html you just have to type "link" and press enter
I'm working on a unique project in that I would like to be able to have CSHTML Razor Views, Windows Forms, and various other "non project type crossing" project item templates in one single project in visual studio.
Is there a way I can override the project type so that it compiles as a Windows Form's project but still allows me to add CSHTML files and other template types to it?
When you edit the .csproj using notepad or an xml editor you'll find that <ProjectTypeGuids> element.
You can then edit it to have an entry like below
<ProjectTypeGuids>{786C830F-07A1-408B-BD7F-6EE04809D6DB};{FAE04EC0-301F-11D3-BF4B-00C04F79EFBC}</ProjectTypeGuids>
Note: these are Guids from a portable class library project. You need to find correct ProjectTypeGuids for your requirements and add it.

I have exactly opposite problem to one described here. In my case Visual Studio inserts using directives inside namespace and I want to prevent this. I did try to uncheck Resharper option:
Languages -> C# -> Formatting Style -> Namespace Imports -> Add using directive to the deepest scope
And it didn't help. Also I tried to temporary disable the Resharper. Still same issue.
Btw, I have StyleCop and StyleCop+ installed as well. Maybe it is causing the issue.
So right now when I go and Add New Item -> Class - it will create new code file with using directives inside namespace. How to change this?
Have you replace your class template file with one that has one or more using directives inside the namespace declaration? If so, you're probably seeing the result of an interesting bit of C# plugin behavior: a newly added using directive is placed after the last recognized using directly already in the file, regardless of where that is.
Is there any way to make visual studio dim or hide/show on demand logging lines of my code?
We use a lot of logging in our project and it's harder to read code like this.
I would like it to be like this, for example:
Unobtrusive Code extension worked for me for Visual Studio 2019. It dims the opacity of log lines (and comments, which I disabled - I enjoy reading my comments). He did a quick update for the nuget package, and it works great.

I use this. Hoping one day they will add color customization and line selection regex options as well:

There is no way to do this from the standard Visual Studio IDE. In order to do this you would need to define a custom extension which recognized lines like this, tagged them with a specific format and have that format be colored a lighter color in the IDE
a "hackier" way would be to wrap all logging in a preprocessor directive like
#if DEBUG
Log.Info(........)
#endif
Visual-Studio will "dim" the code inside.
and have some kind of config header where you
#define DEBUG 0
Not the prettiest but its nice if you don't want debug code compiled into your Release binary
why don't you put your section within #region tag.
E.G:
#region Put some region name here for your reference
Your Code / Comment / Whatever
#endregion
T4 text templates can be used to generate not only code but also any kind of text with visual studio.
I've read blogs and tutorials about T4 and as far as I can understand, visual studio dynamically builds a class in the background, compiles and runs the code in that class to build the text output.
Is it possible to see the source code of that class?
Yes, the easiest way is to change the Custom Tool in the properties window when the template file is selected in Solution Explorer.
By default, it will be 'TextTemplatingFileGenerator'.
If you change the custom tool to 'TextTemplatingFilePreprocessor' you'll get the underlying template class instead of the template output generated into your project.
To be precise, this code won't be exactly the same as that which is run under the covers, but it will be very close.
If you need the absolute exact code, you should leave the custom tool alone, but set the debug="true" flag on your <## template #> directive. This will then leave the generated code sitting around in a random named '.cs' or 'vb' file in your %TEMP% directory. Just sort the directory by time and it should be up at the top.
