My Favorite Visual Studio Add-ins

24. December 2009

Add-ins are great, and can add some important functionality to Visual Studio. Here are just some of them that I always find myself using (in no particular order).

  • TestDriven.net – Not only does it make it easy to run unit tests from your IDE, it ads some fun stuff like nCover integration, and Reflector.
  • GhostDoc – Automatically generate XML documentation comments for your methods, properties, and classes.
  • Power Commands – A set of extensions that ads functionality you always thought should have been there.
  • AnkhSVN – I used to use VisualSVN for subversion integration, but just recently I have switched, and haven’t looked backed. If it has been a while since you have tried this (or have never tried it before), give it a chance. You won’t regret it!
  • RockScroll – Extends the scrollbar to show a syntax highlighted thumbnail of your source. I didn’t know I wanted this until I had installed it.
