Does CodeRush Xpress play nicely with JustCode on VS 2010?
Will the default key bindings clash?
Background: I am inexperienced with C# and would like the IDE to help me as much as possible. Thanks.
We (DevExpress) were not told about incompatibilities with JustCode. So, most likely they will work fine. If you see any issues we will be happy to research and resolve them - just drop a line at support#devexpress.com.
I am with Telerik, and I've experienced no problems testing JustCode with CodeRush Xpress. It may be possible that installing additional Visual Studio extensions will overwrite the key mappings for JustCode. If you suspect this has occurred, go to JustCode | Options | General and click "Reset keyboard shortcuts".

I am new to Visual Studio and would like to disable the IntelliSense automatic suggestions without disabling IntelliSense entirely. More precisely, I don't want popup hints continually covering the code I'm working on, but I'd still like to be able to use Ctrl-Space to request suggestions at times. I'm coding in C/C++.
I've seen information on how to do this for Visual Studio Code, but I haven't found anything similar for Visual Studio.
Or if this is just a matter of me not understanding how to properly use Visual Studio or IntelliSense, please help me understand or point me to a forum where true Microsoft devotees hang out.
The solution is to go to Tools -> Options -> Text Editor -> C/C++ -> General and uncheck Auto list members.
Credit goes to this answer in "Intellisense “Toggle Completion Mode” doesn't work with C++ in Visual Studio 2010 Professional".
Turning off auto-suggestions in Visual Studio 2019 without turning off
IntelliSense
Solution
Edit Menu-->Intellisense-->click Toggle Completion Mode
After that, when you type, it will not cover the code you are working on automatically.
Hope it could help you.

I have a really big project where having intellisense would be more than helpful, but I am not able to make it works. I went there to try to resolve my problem, but not luck.
I am using vs2010 really only as an IDE, we do compile our code in cygwin with a Makefile system. I don't know if it might be a problem for intellisense?
But then, I discovered an Enhanced IntelliSense feature with Visual Assist X, installed it and voilà! Intellisense magically starts to work really really well! (+ all cool feature of VAssistX indeed)
Soon as I disable VAssistX, IntelliSense stops working (always having this Troubleshooting IntelliSense in C++ Projects)
Any idea why IntelliSense not working without VAssistX? (I am not sure my compagnie is willing to pay 250$ bucks)
thanks
When your project is a pure native C++ project it should work. Intellisense support for C++/CLI was removed in Visual Studio 2010. See this link from the Microsoft website
I would like to know (as I've failed so far in finding such a feature in the VS's options),
if there is a feature which allow for scope highlighting same as seen in the BlueJ IDE for java,
here is an example:
Note how the code blocks are all highlighted with color,
when learning java using blueJ i found it to be extremely easy on the eye when looking at code,
and everything felt a lot more organized,
moving to C# and working on MS visual studio, its all text with some highlighting, Class names, keywords etc etc,
but in general it still feel like a black text on a white background and lacking that organized feeling i sorely miss from blueJ,
i noticed there is a similar question here referring to eclipse,
Eclipse IDE Scope Highlighting?
just to be on the safe side, ill ask again referring to Visual studio,
is there such a feature in VS? is there an add-on \ plugin for VS which allows it?
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Microsoft provides a free Productivity Power Tools extension for Visual Studio 2013 and 2015. This has a "Structure Visualizer" feature similar to the CodeRush plugin. Both are more subtle than the BlueJ style, but should make scopes a little clearer.
Productivity Power Tools 2013
Productivity Power Tools 2015
Update
Visual Studio 2017 integrated a version of this into the core application for C#, Visual Basic, F#, and XAML (as Structure Guide Lines). However, C++ still requires an extension.
Look at the DevExpress CodeRush plugin, there is a 30-day trial version.
The function it provides is called "Structural highlighting", and I think its even better than what you want (and its customizable).

I have this strange behaviour in VS2010 where any modifications I make to keyboard shortcuts or the text for top-level menu items (File, Edit, View, ...) are reset to their default values the next time I restart VS. I suspect that one or more of the add-ins I've installed could be the culprit. So far though, I have had no success in stopping this very annoying behaviour, so I'm desperate for any tips.
VS 2010 Professional RTM
Add-Ins that might be responsible:
Red Gate .Net Reflector
DevExpress Refactor! 10.1 (with DXCore, CodeRush Express)
VisualSVN 2.0
Any ideas?
From MSDN:
Several pre-defined keyboard shortcut collections are included in Visual Studio. You can change the keyboard shortcuts for most commands, and your changes are automatically saved in your active settings file.
I'm not sure where that is in 2010, but in 2008 it was something like <path to your profile>\My Documents\Visual Studio 2008\Settings\CurrentSettings.vssettings.
While Cory's answer was strictly correct as to my question title (which is why I've marked it as the accepted answer), it didn't help me find the cause of the problem I described.
In the meantime, though, I've installed VS on a fresh system and then added the extras one by one - and discovered that it was Red Gate .Net Reflector add-in which was causing the erratic behaviour. Since I only rarely used the add-in and Reflector can easily be run stand-alone, I solved my problem by removing the add-in.
Suddenly none of hotkeys in C# Express work (like F5, F6 etc.). I don't know what I've done, but no doubt its something stupid. Does anyone know how to fixed this?
I have tried the Keyboard settings in Options, but it won;t even let me add hotkeys for some reason, even once I've removed the old ones. So re-adding them does not work.
Reset your Visual Studio Settings.
If that doesn't help
repair your Visual Studio.
Try restarting your computer.
Have you made any changes recently (Installed a new Add-in or some other software on your PC).
Do the hot keys work in other applications? If no then it has nothing to do with VS.
Did you try a different keyboard?
You can try some of the Visual Studio standard trouble shooting steps described here. These are for the non-Express-editions, but I guess they will also work for the Express versions. Have a look especially at resetting all settings and check for add-ons.
