Visual Studio practical extension recommendation

Visual Studio has excellent scalability. In my previous articles, I also demonstrated how to extend the Editor (see references at the end of this Article ). In this article, I will introduce several very practical extensions to help us improve development efficiency.

 

C # outline

The default outline scheme of Visual Studio only allows code folding at the method level and above, and cannot collapse An if or while block. This tool makes up for this problem.

Highlight all occurrences of selected word

This extension can highlight all the relevant code in yellow and mark it with a prominent square in the left area, so that we can identify the location of the relevant code at a glance.

Indent Guides

The code is too long and sometimes you will be dazzled and cannot tell which parentheses are a pair. This tool will draw a dotted line for each indent.

Productivity Power Tools

The extensions officially launched by Microsoft include N more practical Tools, such as tag completion, copy reference, and enhanced scroll bars. For details, see "free boutique: Productivity Power Tools animation demonstration".

Visaul Studio Color Theme Editor

Visual fatigue will affect our development efficiency. Using a non-glare color scheme can reduce fatigue to a certain extent, and this tool greatly simplifies the process of color matching, for details, see "Protecting eyesight for the revolution-changing colors for Visual Studio".

Web Essentials

This is an artifact for the development of the asp.net website. It can be used to preview colors (images, fonts) and automatically generate xxx. min. js, automatically generate CSS compatible with various browsers, etc. For this extension article, you have provided a very detailed and easy-to-understand introduction, for details, see "extensions of the most sharp Visual Studio Web development tools: Web essenessen".

Fragment

The above plug-ins are my favorite extensions. In addition, VSCommands and Resharper are also good extensions. However, most of the functions of VSCommands basic edition (free of charge) are also provided in Productivity Power Tools, the features not provided in Productivity Power Tools, such as automatically hiding Visual Studio menus and packaging project files, are either a small problem or rarely used for me. Resharper charges fees, and the trial can only be 30 days.

 

In addition, if you have other extensions that are considered good and free (trial and free), please leave a message ~~
