Visual Studio Add-Ins

Two addins that I find myself relying more and more lately are the PowerCommands and Pro Power Tools for VS2010.  Linkies to both.

Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools

PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2010

Both are incredibly helpful in making the IDE better.  They aren’t for the casual dev as they add a lot of options that may not be needed for a developer still learning but they do increase one’s productivity.

The #1 feature that I love most from the Pro Power Tools is a throwback to the popular Delphi IDE’s with CTRL+Click that’s bound to the normal Right Click –> Go to Definition.

If you are a clean freak like me in your IDE the Collapse Projects available on the Solution is utterly necessary.

Enjoy :)
