22 Solution Navigator is a new tool window that acts like an enhanced Solution Explorer. With it, you can: Expand code files to navigate to its classes, expand classes to navigate to their members, and so on (C# and VB only) Search your solution, all the way down to class members Filter your solution or projects to see just opened files, unsaved files, and so on View related information about classes and members (such as references or callers/callees for C#) Preview images by hovering over them, or preview rich information by hovering over code items We've also added support for multiple selection and drag & drop. In other words, it merges functionality from Solution Explorer, Class View, Object Browser, Call Hierarchy, Navigate To, and Find Symbol References all into one tool window! Solution Navigator also provides interactive tooltips in C# and VB code (replacing the default quick info tooltips) that give you the same kind of data, but right at your fingertips. In addition to getting the tooltips on hover, you can: Press Ctrl+1 to open a relevant tooltip at the current cursor location Press Ctrl+2 to quickly navigate to any class/member in the current source file ========================================================= 22

23 Productivity Power Tools July 2011 This update fixes a number of crashes reported with the Find extension. It also fixes an issue where the locations of floating document windows wasn't persisted correctly. You can find a set of known issues at the bottom of this page. Avoid Extension Resets! Since the February 2011 release of the Productivity Power Tools, your extension state (disabled or enabled) will be retained when you install a new version of the Tools as long as Visual Studio is running during the installation. You can tell Visual Studio to automatically check for updates to installed extensions (Tools Options Environment Extension Manager), as seen here: When updates to any extension (not just the Productivity Power Tools) are posted to the Visual Studio Gallery you will see a toast notification in the Windows tray letting you know that there are updates available. Clicking on the popup will take you directly to the Updates tab of the Extension Manager, where you can quickly install the latest release of your extensions. Please note, it may take a few moments for the Update list to populate in the Extension Manager. XP users: Please see known issues for problems updating the Productivity Power Tools Quick Find (Updated) There are many different ways to find within Visual Studio (Incremental Search, Quick Find, Find in Files, Find Toolbar, etc) and it often isn t clear which is the best for a given task or worse these options even exist. The find dialog itself also can obstruct code and jump around while users are searching. Our solution to these problems is the new Quick Find extension. In the screenshot below, you will see that we ve turned the quick find & incremental search experiences into a find pop-up that is available at top right hand corner of the editor. After hitting, Ctrl+I or Ctrl+F, it simply highlights the find results as you type. From this small but powerful pop-up, you have access to most of the Quick Find functionality such as replace, options to match case and added support for matching.net Regular Expressions! As a result your feedback, we've added the ability to set the scope of the Find to Selection, Document, Project, or Solution. Release notes: As an extension, it was only possible to implement these changes for the code editor. You still must use Quick Find for searching in designers and other non-editor tabs..net Regular expressions are only available in the Find extension. Find in Files will 22

24 continue to use VS Regular expressions Feel free to us your feedback: Enhanced Scrollbar We ve been looking into ways that we can improve the experience of navigating through code files. Our solution is the source map which has three modes that will allow you to more easily see the interesting artifacts in your files (edits, breakpoints, bookmarks, errors, warnings etc) and make it easy for you to navigate between them. The default mode is the scroll bar only mode which overlays icons onto the standard scrollbar to allow for viewing of these artifacts. In the source map mode, we ve replaced the default scroll bar allow you to click on any item on the scrollbar to navigate directly to it. This source map mode also provides a preview of the part of the document as you hover. Finally, we have the detailed source map mode, which allows you to get a zoom out view of your entire file. You can switch between any of these modes by right-clicking on the scroll bar or going to Tools Options>Productivity Power Tools>Source Map where we have a host of other options that you can configure. Middle-Click Scrolling The ability to do middle click scrolling in Visual Studio 2010 has been a top request from our beta customers that we weren t quite able to get into the release. With this extension you can press down on your scroll wheel and the move the mouse to quickly scroll through your document! Organize Imports for Visual Basic As part of the co-evolution strategy for Visual Basic and C#, we continue to bring the best features from each language experiences to the other. With Organize Imports for Visual Basic we ve added yet another feature to that list. From the context menu, it allows you to sort the imports logically and remove the ones that aren t being used. Solution Navigator Solution Navigator is a new tool window that acts like an enhanced Solution Explorer. With it, you can: Expand code files to navigate to its classes, expand classes to navigate to their members, and so on (C# and VB only) Search your solution, all the way down to class members Filter your solution or projects to see just opened files, unsaved files, and so on View related information about classes and members (such as references or callers/callees for C#) Preview images by hovering over them, or preview rich information by hovering over code items We've also added support for multiple selection and drag & drop. In other words, it merges functionality from Solution Explorer, Class View, Object Browser, Call Hierarchy, Navigate To, and Find Symbol References all into one tool window! 22

25 Solution Navigator also provides interactive tooltips in C# and VB code (replacing the default quick info tooltips) that give you the same kind of data, but right at your fingertips. In addition to getting the tooltips on hover, you can: Press Ctrl+1 to open a relevant tooltip at the current cursor location Press Ctrl+2 to quickly navigate to any class/member in the current source file Tab Well UI (More Info) This extension allows you to completely customize the behaviour of your document tabs from the Productivity Power Tools Options: Floating Tab Wells Now you can dock floating document windows on a separate monitor just like tool windows! There s also an option now which allows you to open documents as floating by default. Scrollable tabs Maintain spatial consistency of the documents that are included in the document well. Vertical tabs Document tabs are shown vertically, allowing you to fit more tabs than are normally visible when shown horizontally. Pinned tabs Allows you to pin tabs to keep them always visible and available. Show close button in tab well Similar to Visual Studio 2008, will show a close button in the document well that will close the active tab. Tab Behavior More Commands for Navigation Using Ctrl+Alt+Page Down and Page Up to navigate between tabs (including pinned) in visual order. Activate a specific pinned tab by Ctrl+Num Pad 1 through 0 Activate a specific regular tab by Ctrl+Alt+Num Pad 1 through 0 New commands for Moving windows between Tab groups (Window.MoveAllToNextTabGroup/Window.MoveAllToPreviousTabGroup) Remove tabs by usage order (LRU) When a new tab is inserted and existing tabs don't fit in the document well, instead of removing the tab at the end of the well it will remove the least recently used tab. This ensures that frequently used tabs are readily available. Show pinned tabs in a separate row/column Pinning tabs can quickly cause you to run out of space for regular tabs. The option allows you to always show pinned tabs in a separate row (or column, if displayed vertically) from regular tabs. Sorting Sort tabs by project Tabs will be sorted by the project they belong to, thus keeping them 22

26 always together in the document tab well. Sort tabs alphabetically Tabs will be sorted alphabetically. When Sort By Project is turned on, tabs will be sorted first by project and then alphabetically. Sort tab well dropdown alphabetically The drop down menu at the right end of the document well is sorted alphabetically. This option allows ordering as the tabs are laid out in the document well. Tab UI Color tabs according to their project or according to regular expressions This option permits tabs to be colored according to the project they belong to. This is particularly useful when sorting tabs by project, as it allows you to immediately identify different groups of project documents. You can also configure regular expressions and assign a color to each one. If the name of a tab matches the configured regular expression, it will be colored with the assigned color. Miscellaneous options that modify tab UI Show document/toolwindow icon in tab Show close button in tab Modify dirty indicator style This option allows you to select from a set of different dirty indicators that you might prefer over the asterisk. Modify minimum and maximum tab size Allows you to modify minimum and maximum tab size. Try setting minimum and maximum sizes to the same value, and you will have evenly spaced tabs. Advanced Options We previously had 14 options configured only through registry keys, you can now find them in the Advanced Options button in Tools Options->Productivity Power Tools -> Document Tab Well -> General Searchable Add Reference Dialog (More Info) The new Add Reference dialog makes it faster and easier for you to find the reference that you are looking for and add it to your VB, C# or F# project. From the Solution Explorer, simply right click on the References node, select the Add Reference command to see the updated Add Reference Dialog. Tools Options Support As much as we try, some experiences in the Productivity Power Tools are not for everyone. If you want to shut off an extension, go to Tools Options Productivity Power Tools and find the extension on the right (remember to scroll!). By toggling the slider to Off and restarting Visual Studio, that extension will no longer be loaded and you will revert to the default Visual Studio behavior. Quick Access (More Info) Quick Access is a new tool window that allows users to search for and execute 22

27 common tasks within the Visual Studio IDE. Not sure where a particular menu command is located? Want a quick way to create a new Silverlight project? By using Quick Access, you can efficiently find and execute common VS operations without taking your hands off the keyboard. Quick Access allows users to: Execute Main Menu and Context Menu commands Open the New Project Dialog with a specific Project Template selected Show a tool window Jump to a Visual Studio Options page Navigate to an open document in your Tab Well Create and execute a series of actions (task) To use, press Ctrl+3 to launch Quick Access, type in your search term (e.g., debug ), and press Enter on the desired result. If your search term returns too many results, continue pressing Ctrl+3 to cycle through each category of results. Auto Brace Completion Automatic Brace Completion improves the productivity of writing code by automatically inserting the closing code construct when the opening construct is typed for VB & C#. More specifically, this extension: Supports the following constructs: (), {}, [], <>,, and. Allows you to press <TAB> to navigate past the next enclosing brace Allows you to automatically complete a statement in C# by inserting the closing semicolon and moving you to the next line with SHIFT + ENTER The extensions from the previous Producitivity Power Tools have been included and improved. See the revision notes at the end of this post: Highlight Current Line As the resolution of monitors increases, it s becoming more difficult to find the caret in the code editor. The highlight current line extension makes it easy to find the caret by highlighting the line that the caret is on in the editor. You can even configure the default colour by changing the setting for Current Line (Extension) and Current Line Inactive (Extension) in Tools Options Fonts & Colors. HTML Copy (More Info) This extension provides support for the HTML Clipboard format when cutting or copying code from the editor. This means that you ll no longer have to go fix up the formatting of your code when you paste it into a TFS bug form or any other HTML based control. It is possible to modify the html format which gets copied to the clipboard and with the release you now have the ability to customize that to suite your needs. Simply go to Tools Options Productivity Power Tools HTML Copy: Triple Click It s never been easier to select a line of code from the mouse by simple triple-clicking anywhere on the line. Fix Mixed Tabs Some developers prefer tabs, others prefer spaces, and nobody likes mixing tabs & spaces. This extension promotes developer harmony by warning as they are open or 22

28 save a file that has a mixture of tabs & spaces. The information bar also provides an easy way to fix the file to suit your preference. Ctrl + Click Go To Definition This extension gives the editor a web browser by adding clickable hyperlinks to symbols in your code as you hold down the Ctrl key. Align Assignments This extension is useful for making your code a little more readable by aligning the assignments when you type Ctrl+Alt+] such that it takes this: And turns it into this: Note! This may conflict with your formatting settings. E.g. in C# you will need to disable: Tools->Options->Text Editor->C#->Formatting->Spacing->"Ignore spaces in declaration statements" Move Line Up/Down Commands This extension maps the Alt+Up Arrow & Alt+Down Arrow keys such that they will move the current line of code or the selected lines up and down through the editor. Column Guides Since Visual Studio 2002, there has been a not so secret registry key which allowed user to draw a vertical line in the code editor. This is very useful to remind developers that their full line of code or comments may not fit one a single screen. Thanks to this extension this feature has returned with UI configure it. Simply place the cursor at the appropriate column and select Add Guideline from the context menu Colorized Parameter Help This extension improves consistency with the editor by applying syntax highlighting to the contents of the Parameter Help window for C# &VB. Please note: Syntax highlighting colors can be customized using the display items prefixed with Signature Help in the Fonts and Colors menu. 22

31 The default mode is the scroll bar only mode which overlays icons onto the standard scrollbar to allow for viewing of these artifacts. In the source map mode, we ve replaced the default scroll bar allow you to click on any item on the scrollbar to navigate directly to it. This source map mode also provides a preview of the part of the document as you hover. Finally, we have the detailed source map mode, which allows you to get a zoom out view of your entire file. You can switch between any of these modes by right-clicking on the scroll bar or going to Tools Options>Productivity Power Tools>Source Map where we have a host of other options that you can configure. 25

34 Power Commands for Visual Studio Below is a list of the commands included in PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2010 version Enable/Disable PowerCommands in Options dialog This feature allows you to select which commands to enable in the Visual Studio IDE. Point to the Tools menu, then click Options. Expand the PowerCommands options, then click Commands. Check the commands you would like to enable. Note: All power commands are initially defaulted Enabled. Format document on save / Remove and Sort Usings on save The Format document on save option formats the tabs, spaces, and so on of the document being saved. It is equivalent to pointing to the Edit menu, clicking Advanced, and then clicking Format Document. The Remove and sort usings option removes unused using statements and sorts the remaining using statements in the document being saved. Note: The Remove and sort usings option is only available for C# documents. Note: Format document on save and Remove and sort usings both are initially defaulted OFF. 28

35 Clear All Panes This command clears all output panes. It can be executed from the button on the toolbar of the Output window. Copy Path This command copies the full path of the currently selected item to the clipboard. It can be executed by right-clicking one of these nodes in the Solution Explorer: The solution node; A project node; Any project item node; Any folder. CodeSnippet To the lines of text you select in the code editor, right-click anywhere in the editor and then click CodeSnippet. Insert Guid Attribute This command adds a Guid attribute to a selected class. From the code editor, rightclick anywhere within the class definition, then click Insert Guid Attribute. Show All Files This command shows the hidden files in all projects displayed in the Solution Explorer when the solution node is selected. It enhances the Show All Files button, which normally shows only the hidden files in the selected project node. Undo Close This command reopens a closed document, returning the cursor to its last position. To reopen the most recently closed document, point to the Edit menu, then click Undo Close. Alternately, you can use the CtrlShiftZ shortcut. To reopen any other recently closed document, point to the View menu, click Other Windows, and then click Undo Close Window. The Undo Close window appears, typically next to the Output window. Double-click any document in the list to reopen it. Collapse Projects This command collapses a project or projects in the Solution Explorer starting from the root selected node. Collapsing a project can increase the readability of the solution. This command can be executed from three different places: solution, solution folders and project nodes respectively. Copy Class This command copies a selected class entire content to the clipboard, renaming the class. This command is normally followed by a Paste Class command, which renames the class to avoid a compilation error. It can be executed from a single project item or 28

36 a project item with dependent sub items. Paste Class This command pastes a class entire content from the clipboard, renaming the class to avoid a compilation error. This command is normally preceded by a Copy Class command. It can be executed from a project or folder node. Copy References This command copies a reference or set of references to the clipboard. It can be executed from the references node, a single reference node or set of reference nodes. Paste References This command pastes a reference or set of references from the clipboard. It can be executed from different places depending on the type of project. For CSharp projects it can be executed from the references node. For Visual Basic and Website projects it can be executed from the project node. Copy As Project Reference This command copies a project as a project reference to the clipboard. It can be executed from a project node. Edit Project File This command opens the MSBuild project file for a selected project inside Visual Studio. It combines the existing Unload Project and Edit Project commands. Open Containing Folder This command opens a Windows Explorer window pointing to the physical path of a selected item. It can be executed from a project item node Open Command Prompt This command opens a Visual Studio command prompt pointing to the physical path of a selected item. It can be executed from four different places: solution, project, folder and project item nodes respectively. Unload Projects This command unloads all projects in a solution. This can be useful in MSBuild scenarios when multiple projects are being edited. This command can be executed from the solution node. Reload Projects This command reloads all unloaded projects in a solution. It can be executed from the 28

37 solution node. Remove and Sort Usings This command removes and sort using statements for all classes given a project. It is useful, for example, in removing or organizing the using statements generated by a wizard. This command can be executed from a solution node or a single project node. Extract Constant This command creates a constant definition statement for a selected text. Extracting a constant effectively names a literal value, which can improve readability. This command can be executed from the code editor by right-clicking selected text. Clear Recent File List This command clears the Visual Studio recent file list. The Clear Recent File List command brings up a Clear File dialog which allows any or all recent files to be selected. Clear Recent Project List This command clears the Visual Studio recent project list. The Clear Recent Project List command brings up a Clear File dialog which allows any or all recent projects to be selected.
