    Hello! I have been a C#-only developer in my job for the past couple of years, which I have thoroughly enjoyed. We use the ReShaper add-in, which ROCKS! :cool: However, we are now turning our attention to a new project, which is a C++ project. This is great, as I get to exercise my brain in completely different ways ("Header files... ah yes, I remember them... :~"). However, we will be using different add-ins (Visual Assist X,...) and a slightly different set-up in Visual Studio. The project lead has come to the conclusion that there are enough differences between our C# setup and the desired C++ setup, and enough conflicts between the various add-ins that its not really practicable to use the same setup for both development environments. So, here is my question: Is there a clever way of telling Visual Studio 2005 that I want to launch a C# development environment, or a C++ development environment, and so enable this-and-that add-in, and disable this-other add-in? I don't know that I can do this using the "Import and Export Settings Wizard", and ideally I'd like to be able to do this "profile switching" from a command line parameter... Cheers, Jon

      I just uninstall any add-on that breaks C++ development. Then i bash them, viciously, here. It seems to work... :rolleyes:

        Hi Shog9, Thanks for your reply. So... have you come across any conflicts between ReSharper and Visual Assist X? Cheers, Jon

          Haven't tried Visual Assist. ReSharper crashed frequently and made VS horribly slow for large projects. VS is plenty slow enough alone.
