Addin Manager for VS 2002-2005

With AddIn Manager you can enable/disable addins, set load options, and do the dreaded ResetAddin that sometimes just is necessary. Additionally, explore all the locations where Visual Studio searches for addins. For me, the AddIn Management in Visual Studio 2005 is broken: Search and Load mechanism is more complex and less transparent than ever, and the advertised functionality like enabling addins, and controling their load time often doesn't work. As SP1 doesn't seem to change that, I decided...

At SlickEdit, we've put several "advertorials" out now on The Code Project about our Tools for Visual Studio product. I'm one of the developers on the Tools team [profile], and I love The Code Project for learning how to do new things, especially because I learn best by seeing examples of how something's done. However, in order to see the sample code for an article, you have to:
1. Download the sample ZIP file

This Add-In for VS.NET implements the concept of named bookmarks, organized in a tree structure. The tree is placed in the toolbox window. You can bookmark places in your code with labeled or simple bookmarks. Labeled bookmarks are useful if you intend to edit your code heavily and you actually will see a commented label in your code. This label will be used to locate the point of interest when you double click on the bookmark. Nonlabeled bookmark will just store the location and will return you...

I've tested few of the available plug-ins and herein my conclusion:

o Jalindi (http://www.jalindi.com/igloo/) : I was able to use Jalindi to check-in my source code but I wasn't able to use it to check-out from remote CVS server; you have to use another CVS client, this drawback prevents you from synchronizing the code with the rest of the team.

The "Paste as..." functionality in applications like Microsoft® Word has become indispensable for me. I often copy something from the Web and want to paste it into a document without all of the HTML formatting. Paste as is the tool for the job. While perusing the Web one day, looking for a code example, it occurred to me that Paste as would also be beneficial for Visual Studio®. However, instead of simply converting the text formatting, it could convert the language of the code example. It's com...
