I have installed CodeRush and ReFactor package but i don't see any changes on my Visual Studio 2010 ide. I check add-in and extension manager but i don't see anything belong CodeRush or ReFactor. Do i have to do some extra settings for it ? How can i understand it is installed on Visual Studio 2010 ?
Is it possible that you've installed CodeRush Xpress instead of the full CodeRush?
CodeRush Xpress has no 'DevExpress' menu and as such it may well look like nothing has changed.
Check this by using the Ctrl+Shift+Alt+O shortcut. If CodeRush is functioning, then this should launch the options menu.
It is also possible that the install did not complete correctly for some reason.
I recommend, uninstalling and reinstalling as a first measure.
If this does not succeed, then I recommend contacting support directly via either support#devexpress.com or better yet, by filing a bug report in Support Center.

Most of my Visual Studio Extensions can't be deactivated or activated any more. I've searched for a solution and tried 'Clear MEF Component Cache' but that didn't work.
Another suggestion was to uninstall the extension, restart VS, uninstall the extension again (somehow the extensions are supposed to still there) and restart VS again. The problem here is, that some of the deactivated extensions cant even be uninstalled, so even if that works for some, it won't work for all of them.
I tried to repair DevExpress with the installer but its still the same. It's not too bad with DevExpress though, because DevExpress seems to at least be activated and still works. But somehow ReSharper deactivated itself and now I can't use it any more. I can't uninstall it via the 'Extensions and Updates'-window either. And if I hover the cursor over the 'Activate'-button, it says 'This product can not be DEactivated', which is odd, because it IS deactivated.
Any suggestions on what could be causing this and/or how to fix it?
I am using Visual Studio Professional 2015 Version 14.0.25431.01 Update 3.
The items are greyed out because they are installed per-machine, rather than per-user. Which basically means they were installed by an installer, rather than through Visual Studio's extensions dialog. ReSharper is one such application - it installs via an installer, rather than using Visual Studio's VSIX mechanism. You can't uninstall it from the extensions dialog, but have to go through the Add/Remove Programs dialog in the computer's control panel.
As for ReSharper being deactivated - check in Tools → Options → ReSharper to see if ReSharper has been suspended. In which case, just active it again. If not, go to Add/Remove Programs and either repair the install, or uninstall/reinstall.
I was running Visual Studio 2013 with Resharper 8, and everything was fine and dandy untill I tried to install Jetbrain's Dottrace trial version. It brought with it something called Resharper Ultimate, which in turn made sure none of my Intellisense or Resharper features worked.
So I uninstalled Resharper Ultimate using the Windows uninstall feature. But Visual Studio seems to still consider it installed, because its options appears in the program's preferences dialog. Not to mention the top menu choice.
I have also tried installing Resharper 8 anew, in hopes that it will cleanse my machine of Ultimate, but it detects no previous installs. So now, I'm getting options dialogs for both Resharper and Resharper Ultimate. And none of the features work.
Plus I'm getting this error message when opening a solution with Resharper active:
I have looked at the mentioned XML file, but am not sure of what to make of it.
The solution from ReSharper Support Site:
To completely remove new .NET tools from Visual Studio, please try the
following:
Run ReSharper 9.x (new .NET Tools) installer once again - do you have
any products with status Repair? If so, please select Remove for them
and select Skip for others. If there are no items with Repair action,
please remove the following folder manually C:\Users{User
Name}\AppData\Local\Microsoft\VisualStudio{Visual Studio
version}\Extensions\JetBrains
I would try to clean the registry as per this article.
At the top of the blog post, there is a continuation of this story which describes fow to finalize the fix of the issue you experience by removing manifest and package definitions of your VS extensions.
Hope it helps
I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional installed. But for a client I do need Visual Studio 2008 (to avoid some upgrades that are note compatible with vs2010)
It is my job's notebook, so everything must be original and legal. And both, the client and my boss want to avoid licences costs. ANYWAY... it seems that my notebook already has some version of vs2008, I need to know if it is too muche reduced or if it will work to develop.
I can open a vs2008 that seems pretty much the same, also the about screen. But at "Add or Remove Programs" I just only have "Visual Studio Tools for Applications 2.0"
Finnaly when I run the app, it works, but the code is not recognize, it is shown as it is notepad.
Here are some screenshots that may help... THANKS ALL!!
VSTA is sort of a replacement for VBA, i.e. you can use VS to write .NET code to extend and automate thrid-party applications that are designed to support it. It appears that that is the only VS 2008 component that you have installed so you cannot open VB or C# projects or any of that stuff. If you want a legal copy of VS 2008 that you don't have to pay for then you'll need to look at an Express edition, although that may lack some features that you need. 2008 Express editions are hard to come by now too, as they are not offered for download any more by Microsoft.
What are these non-upgradeable parts of your project?
I have Visual Studio 2010 Professional however it seems as though I cannot open/create Office Projects.
I assumed there must have been something wrong with my install and a feature wasn't added. However whenever I go into my Maintenance Mode for my VS2010 nothing about Office appears. And it does say Professional, which I believe comes with office tools.
I do have Office 2010 also installed.
I've looked around and everywhere says that I can just add that feature, but I only get a number of features in my install; VB, C++. C# (plus X64 Compilers and Tools), Visual Web Developer and Graphics Library, all of which are tickets.
Any tips?
p.s. I do also have SP1
For anyone else that may encounter this problem, you may need to reinstall SP1 as well as Visual Studio. This is what did it for me.
VSTO is what you're looking for.
Try one of the walkthrough articles to get started.
I am just about to get used with Visual Studio 2010 right now.
So could you mention visual studio add-in that is ready for Visual Studio 2010?
Take a look within Visual Studio itself: Tools -> Extension Manager.
This will show various tools and other extensions from http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/. I'm not sure if it's working very well right now, as I'm having connection issues within VS and the site seems a bit slow.
I know AnkhSVN exists on there and I'm sure others do as well.
Here's a blog post with some more information: Get VS2010 Extensions easily with built-in Extension Manager (and checking out a VS2010T4 editor)
JetBrains has preview builds of ReSharper available. It may not be completely stable yet, but some ReSharper is better than no ReSharper...
AnkhSVN - a subversion client is VS 2010 compatible.
Hope that helps,

Get ReSharper. It really helps you make fewer errors and code faster. http://twi.im/oW
My addin Atomineer Pro Documentation provides automatic DocXml/Doxygen comment generation tool for use in C/C++/C#/VB/Java. It supports XML Documentation, Doxygen, JavaDoc, and Qt format comments.
An alternative for documenting in XML format for C#/VB is GhostDoc - there is a feature comparison here to give an idea of how they measure up to each other.
