Are there any Visual Studio Plugins you use? If so what are they and what do they do.

Visual Assist X, VMWare Debugging extension and probably from now on AnkhSVN. ;)

Does anyone know a good plugin (or external tool with appropriate code analysis features) to document a MSVC project? Like info for each function, params, usage, return values, ...

I tried a few but they did not seem to work, especially not with native C/C++ code.

VS can generate xml documentation from the source that can in turn be transformed into html/whatever format

JetBrains ReSharper - the best refactoring/productivity plugin ever!

unfortunally for C# only :(

Well i'm pretty sure VS 2010 comes default with Visual Assist so i dont think its needed since its already integrated.

Has WholeTomato sold out to Microsoft?

No it doesn't. Or at least, not in any public builds.

Also, unless Microsoft have licensed it (which I have not heard of so I doubt it's true) that's not going to happen.

In short: No, you're almost certainly mistaken.

IntelliSense has been in VS since . . . well, as long as I can remember.


VAX will probably still have a lot of features that aren't included in VS2k10.

Its got more of a spellchecking feel from word now.
example

int rawr;

rawrw++;

The line rawrw would instantly have a red underline indicating theres an error, when hovering over it, the error would appear and you could easily spot your mistake and such.

Oh, ya, I've seen that before. Its just like C# when it comes to the IDE basically.
