VS2010 (vs2012) Useful extensions Introduction

I've been using only tomato vs helper (https://www.wholetomato.com/downloads/default.asp) to write code and forget who introduced it, but it does work.

Compared to the original VS, it offers a lot of improvement features. For example, rename variables, Kao Lianhong with custom types, find references, smart code hints, and so on.

Because I've been using a place where I don't feel uncomfortable, I didn't do any research on the other plugins for vs. The previous period was due to being dispatched to the new project team, and the project team requested to work on the cloud desktop, and the VS2010 development environment provided by the project team could not be installed with the VS Assistant (C-drive does not have write permission to install). Very uncomfortable, so spent a lot of time on the Internet to find alternatives to the VS helper. During this time, it was found that many of the online vs extensions are very useful, just like discovering a new world.

This article intends to introduce some of the more useful extensions, but also the time to learn the summary of the harvest.

First introduce the installation of the VS extension:

The VS extension has two modes of installation:

1 IDE Online installation

In the IDE interface, click Tools, Extension Manager (vs2012 is extensions and updates). The Pop-up dialog box appears in the installed extensions to see the extensions that you have installed. Switch to "online Library" to search for and download the desired plugin, which will be installed automatically after downloading.

The small IDE has a lot of plugins installed:

2 Offline installation

Go to Microsoft's website to find the plugin you want to download (note pick the correct vs version), and then download the corresponding. vsix file. Download down and double click to install.

Website URL and Interface:

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/search?target=vs&category=all%20categories&vsversion=vs15& Sortby=rating

This is more recommended by individuals, as some plugins are not always searchable when they are installed online. and browsing the plugin on the Web page is much more convenient than navigating the IDE.

VS plugins are very many, there are thousands of them. Features are multifarious. Some are to strengthen the code highlighting function, there are some auxiliary refactoring code, some are the auxiliary code version management and so on. The difference between a plug-in vs a no-fit is huge.

Put a my IDE in here.

As you can see, with a variety of plug-ins after the VS has been unrecognizable. An enhanced project file Browse view is added to the left to view open/edited code. The tab bar is fixed with the usual code on the left. The Function List window is added to the left of the Code editing window, click to quickly locate. Code and comment highlighting have also been greatly enhanced, and the background image has been added. The output window below has also been enhanced to highlight compilation errors.

Let's start by introducing some plugins that I think are more useful. (Mentioned in plug-ins can be downloaded directly on the official website, if sometimes the official website can not be searched, or download the arrival of the wrong version, direct Baidu to find the download link. There are a lot of people who will upload these plugins to share online.
