After reading Scott Hanselman’s post “Scott’s List of Ultimate Visual Studio.NET AddIns” I decided to put my own together, especially as I was told during my last appraisal that I’d have to give a presentation to our .NET Community about all the AddIns I’ve got installed.
- devAdvantage – coding standards compliance enforcement / refactoring tool - I was awarded a free copy for being a Top Beta Tester :)
- HandleWhiteSpace – automatically corrects spacing issues (yes I am a CSN – Coding Standards Nazi as well as a CSM)
- SortCode Macro – automatically arranges members of a type into a preset order (see CSN statement above)
- DataSet Quick Watch – DataSet Visualizer - see the contents of a DataSet as Xml or bound to a DataGrid
- Smart Paster 1.1 – paste code as; comments, StringBuilder, Region or String
- Project Line Counter – reports on Lines of Code, Lines of Comments etc
- Regions Addin – create new regions or move code to pre-existing regions
- CopySourceAsHtml – does exactly what is says on the tin
- ReSharper - As Frosti says in the comments "your coding will never be the same again!". Refactoring ala VSTS available in VS.NET 2003.
- Clean Sources - Explorer shell extension, which recursively deletes bin, obj and setup folders. Useful for cleaning up VS solutions before sharing with others.
- WSContractFirst Addin - Christian Weyer's excellent addin allows you to easily develop Contract First web services.
Update: I've added the last three entries as I've been using them over the last month or so.
