I'm attempting to use the bitmap visualizer in Visual Studio 2010, but when I bring up the quick watch window I don't see the magnifying glass described here. I set the app to full trust under the Security tab of the project settings but it didn't help. Has anybody successfully used the bitmap debug visualizer?
Oops. Don't know why I thought this was included in Visual Studio 2010 but there is a 3rd party version here.

Can I somehow use search in Visual Studio 2017 properties window? In Embarcadero RAD Studio there is a searchbar in properties as well as it is possible to type the first letter of property and jump to it. Is there something like this in visual studio 2017? I have found this answer with this screenshot, but there is nothing like in my IDE, and I can't find an option to turn it on.
I've already turned off many options in Visual Studio 2017, but I can't suppress this annoying pop-up. (Not this specific one, but all of them, for all the API's)
Can someone please show me the setting I need?
Check this old post How do I turn off code tooltips in Visual Studio 2010. In it a workaround is provided but you will probably make a new extension from the source for it to work in Visual Studio 2017.
Looks like there is no setting for this except for the C/C++ language.
We just switched over to VS 2013 and I heard that you're supposed to be able to
generate code maps for your entire application. Awesome feature indeed, that could
get new developers on our project up to speed.
Watched a couple of tutorials, but when I tried to just right click on a method
in the application, the 'Show on Code Map' context menu is missing. In fact, I
can't find anything in VS that has anything to do with Code Maps.
My version:
Visual Studio Premium 2013
I tried installing Modeling SDK for Microsoft Visual Studio 2013, but that didn't do anything.
Anyone got any ideas?
You need Visual Studio ULTIMATE to create Code Maps.

This has changed for Visual Studio 2015 and Visual Studio 2017:
The Enterprise Edition allows creating code maps.
The Community and Professional Editions can open diagrams generated in other Visual Studio editions in read-only mode.
When debugging in Visual Studio 2010 and hovering over a variable name, I'm given the option to use 3 different built-in visualizers: Text, XML, & HTML.
Here is an example of what I'm referring to:
Since I'm doing more and more work with JSON based data, is there a JSON visualizer that I can install?
Yes, use this addon on Codeplex.
archive.org - JSON Viewer on Codeplex
Overtly visible disclamer: I wrote this and I'm giving it away for free via Microsofts Visual Studio Gallery. No ads, no link to my own site or anything.
I found this thread when looking for the exact same thing but seeing that http://jsonviewer.codeplex.com/ is "A visualizer for Visual Studio 2005" i felt that it was probably to outdated for my use. So I wrote a new visualizer instead (with built in jsonlint-support!). It has been tested with Visual Studio 2012 (but probably works fine for at least 2008 and 2010) and available from Microsofts Visual Studio Gallery.

Actually it does work in visual studio 2010, but you have to unblock the assemblies. In explorer right click on the DLL and view properties the is a button to unblock the assembly.
I know the question references specifically Visual Studio 2010, but at least in Visual Studio 2019, the JSON Visualizer is already integrated so you don't need any extension, I would say.
Just select the JSON Visualizer in variable's view context menu:
And then press the view button:
In Visual Studio 2010 you can drag tabs out to separate windows but you can not collect them together as additional tabbed elements. Is there a VS 2010 add-on to allow you to group your extra windows into tabs? It would be really nice to have a set of tabs on each of my monitors.
The best place to look is the Visual Studio Gallery for 2010 Extensions. If you are lucky someone else has already had the idea and created an extension (VSIX) for you.
Otherwise, why do you have a go at writing it yourself by grabbing a copy of the Visual Studio 2010 SDK and read the Getting Started Guide.
UPDATE: I just stumbled on this awesome Visual Studio Extension that may do want you are looking for: Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools.

Productivity Power Tools does it, and it's free. The feature is called Document Well.
