    A question about that page: isn't the "vi gang sign" more commonly known as "the shocker?"


    He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.

      that comics defective. The VI graph is missing the coils of razor wire at the top, and the minefield and attack dogs guarding the front of the wall.

        So what Visual Studio Add Ons do people use? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Premium if that makes a difference. TIA - Jeff.

          That one is on by default. I no longer think of it as an extension. I think of it as part of Visual Studio ;)

            I still have no clue what it does; it fails to install on any Express Edition. Can't remember what exactly bombs, but it does. :doh: (not sad as I don't know what I'm missing out on)

              You can't add anything to the express editions. I remember reading an email chain (I believe from the developer of testdriven.net) where he had a long drawn out discussion with MS over why you can't put things into express editions.

                  I guess you're right. Express doesn't offer the Tools/AddInManager menu item which Pro does. If so, 1. I can stop trying 2. I wish the installer would make that clear. Thanks. :)

                    Chris - you really should look into Mole (by our very own Rockstar and k-dawg). If you do any SL/WPF development, then you will find that Karl's XAML Power Toys is a real time saver.

                    I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be

                      Yup. Mostly i use 2k10 to exercise Weven's app crash recovery feature. In hundreds of trials, it's yet to fail to reload VS after the crash.

As far as free ones go: Productivity Power Tools Telerik MVC VSExtensions World of VS Default Browser Switcher Zen Coding Edit: I just found a new one that was just released which seems helpful. It's called Vingy (Visual Studio + Bing). It allows you to search a number of sources for help right from the IDE.

                                        Download worked fine, installing failed, when I tried it. Why tell me this? Put it on Suggs&bugs forum if you must. :)

                                          So what Visual Studio Add Ons do people use? I'm using Visual Studio 2010 Premium if that makes a difference. TIA - Jeff.
