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.

Forget addons. One can actually use Visual Studio? Just kidding. :)
The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's too late to stop reading it. My latest tip/trick Visit the Hindi forum here.

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

Solution load manager for very large solutions allowing you to delay load projects on startup or on demand. The api is built into vs2010 but they didn't expose it, this add-in does: http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/66350dbe-ed01-4120-bea2-5564eff7b0b2[^]

I think he's new, so a bit of orientation is called for, if for no other reason that to speed up the learning process.

Resharper Resharper Resharper Oh yeah, and Resharper. :-D But seriously, Resharper rocks. Of course, it's not free. 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.
We live in a world operated by science and technology. We have also arranged things so that almost no one understands science and technology. This is a prescription for disaster. We might get away with it for a while, but sooner or later this combustible mixture of ignorance and power is going to blow up in our faces. --Carl Sagan

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

I have several thousand rounds of ammo at the ready, and all of my magazines are full I can take out several hundred hoard participants without having to reload a magazine (eight 30-round, six 20-round, eight 7-round, and five 12-round, and three 25-round). Let's see... that makes 551 dead or wounded, and I have a speed loader for the AR that lets me fill a 30 round magazine in about 10 seconds. It'll take them that long to climb over the dead/dying that are stacked at the door. I'm not worried (and I have a Bowie knife, but I only use it to cut off ears for my trophy cabinet).

Careful, you'll have hot brass raining all over your sensitive bits. I'd think that would spoil your aim. Keep a big tube of neosporin handy, just in case.
My other signature is witty and insightful.

“I have CDO, it's OCD with the letters in the right order; just as they ruddy well should be” That has got to be one of the best "sigs" I've seen. Unfortunately this makes me think of too many of my friends, including MYSELF! :laugh: LOL! Thanks for adding a laugh to my day. :)
