Visual Studio Plugins

Hello,

I have been using a lot of Np++ and miss the text editor features which really speed up my coding. Wondering if anyone knows any decent plugins that help with the the general text editing when coding.

What sort of things specifically?

Have a look at Coderush Express - might do what you are after and there is a free version

This. It's full of win, and well worth the price tag.

resharper++

BTW Yakyb, your sig is too big, IIRC it's only a max of 4 lines of text which is allowed.

Indeed, I recently started a new job and ReSharper wasn't part of the standard toolkit so I bought it myself (along with dotTrace, which is also damn helpful)

If you don't want to spring for ReSharper give CodeRush Xpress ago

I downloaded the trial for Resharper, seems nifty! the one thing i hate is having to spend extra time typing when i could be coding so thanks

Visual Assist is the one to get IMO. It is how Visual Studio should be. Good for many lanaguages and the short cut keys are awesome.

I hadn't heard of ReSharper so had a look at their web site. Looks good but no where near versitile enough for me.
