Best VS2010 Extensions
Visual Studio 2010 - recommended extensions
I've just discovered JSEnhancements for Visual Studio 2010 and it's left me wondering what other "indispensable" extensions and add-ins there are that I might benefit from.
What are your key productivity extensions for Visual Studio 2010?
JetBrains Resharper. It's not free, but it's surely the best around.
Edit: I also like TestDriven.NET. And it's usually free.

What are the differences between Visual Studio Code and Visual Studio?
(14 answers)
Closed 3 years ago.
I'm getting started with learning visual basic and was wondering if I should download the visual studio community or the visual studio code? What's the difference?
If you own a Windows machine, Visual Studio Community is the best. But only if you have a Windows machine.
If you use some other OS like macOS you will have to use Visual Studio Code, but it is not as easy to set up.
macOS does have a Visual Studio for Mac, but it is not the same as Visual Studio for Windows. Instead, it is used for Unity3d programming and Xamarin for mobile applications.
Coming from 2 years of classroom experience, Visual Studio Community is the BEST way to begin learning Visual Basic.
VS Code uses .NET Core, a limited Open-Source Version of the .NET Framework.
VS Community uses the full .NET Framework and allows you to use e.g. Windows Forms.
VS Code is more lightweight than VS Community, but for a beginner it's usually simpler to use VS Community if you just want
to learn programming. There is also more information about VS Community so I recommend you to use it.
Visual Studio Community is only available for Windows, so if you are on Linux or MacOS X you'll have to use VS Code.

Visual Studio 2012 compared to Visual Studio 2010 (delta) [closed]
(2 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
Is there anyone who can better explain the visual studio 2012 and visual studio 2010 Features?
There is a lot of differences. The best place to start is with the "What's New in Visual Studio 2012" page which you can find here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/bb386063(v=vs.110).aspx
There are a whole lot of differences! Either you need to ask for an aspect specifically or I'll just tell you "they look different, like, alot, but not soo much". But in all seriousness, there is a website to consult about the new features of Visual Studio 2012.
Additionally, the answer is dependent on the version you choose (Express, Professional, Ultimate...).
If you are asking for a feature matrix, I only know of this one comparing Pro, Ultimate and Premium, but regarding VS2013 and this comparing the Express versions of VS2012.

What are people replacing the missing C++/CLI Intellisense in VS 2010 with?
I downloaded and installed Visual C++ 2010 Express, today. To my shock and horror, a variable's dot was not followed with anything, an error at the bottom status bar reading:
"Intellisense: Unavailable for C++/CLI"
So... that being the case, is there an alternative to Intellisense that I can find and use? Other stackoverflow questions addressed the possibly broken nature of Intellisense. From what I've read, though:
They suggest Visual Assist. Visual Assist's free trial, as I just downloaded, is not compatible with VC++ 2010 Express.
They talk about manipulating Visual C++ itself somehow, usually through the deleting of a .ncb file. Do any of you know where this file is located? If so, that's one answer I'm hoping for -- maybe it'll fix intellisense!
Thanks! Of course, feel free to chime in with any other ideas!
Yes, VS 2010 doesn't support C++/CLI Intellisense. The VS team promised it would come with an update, but I'm quite sure we won't see it. Too bad, C++/CLI is amazing for creating bridge classes between C++ and C#/VB/any other .NET managed laguage.
Visual Assist X indeed brings it back, but since VS Express editions don't support extensions, you have three options:
1) Live without Intellisense
2) Get VS Professional or better (if you are student, you can get it from MSDNAA for free)
3) Downgrade to Visual C++ 2008 Express
Just use Visual Studio 2008.
It's a simple matter of which feature you find more important. Pick only one:
Multiple monitor support
Intellisense for C++/CLI projects

Developing Silverlight in Visual Studio Express?
I would like to learn to develop Silverlight applications. But I am not sure what software I need.
I got Expression Studio 4 Ultimate, I also know I will need Visual Studio. But which version. Is Express version enough for Silverlight apps or do I need Professional version?
Thanks.
Express is absolutely fine as long as you don't need plugins, or the more advanced debugging and testing features that Professional has.
View this thread.
You need Visual Web Developer + Silverlight Tools an other optional tools.
I have a feeling that the Visual Studio SDK is targeted heavily towards the version of Visual Studio it is created for, so I'm wondering how to do this in the best way possible. I currently only have Visual Studio 2008, but people using Visual Studio 2010 have begun wanting to use my tool as well, and I want to help them out. There were some using Visual Studio 2005 as well. Is there any way to do this without maintaining two (or three) different versions of the tool in different versions of Visual Studio?
This question is related, maybe it helps: Does Visual Studio 2010 have backward compatibility with visual studio 2008's addins?
