Some time ago I blogged about the GoToTest macro I use in my daily work.

Recently I decided to create a Visual Studio 2010 extension.

Extension is convention based. It matches ClassName file with ClassNameTest or ClassNameTests and vice-versa, so you can easily navigate to the test file and back.

Here are some screenshots:

You’ll need to add toolbar manually:

Editor Guidelines in VS2010

Wednesday, April 28th, 2010

In VS2008 this could be done easily, it was just required to modify the registry.

Visual Studio 2010 lacks this feature, but there is a cool plugin for that:
Editor Guidelines.

Just download, install, and put the following code in to the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio10.0Text Editor]
"Guides"="RGB(255,0,0) 80"

Red line at 80th column in VS

vs_redline_at80There is a hidden feature in Visual Studio. You can add a nice, red, vertical line to your editor.
All you need to do is to create a .reg file with the following content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftVisualStudio9.0Text Editor]
“Guides”=”RGB(255,230,230), 80″

And add it to registry (double click). That’s it!
