Code Block Tagger (pro)

Clicking on the tagger will take you to the beginning of the code block.

By default tagger will only show when beginning of the code block is not currently visible. This behaviour can be changed from Tools | VSCommands | Options | Text Editor | Common

Text color can be changed from Tools | Options | Environment | Fonts and Colors | VSCommands.CodeBlockTagger.Foreground

File Structure – Razor, ASPX, HTML, JavaScript

File Structure Window (Tools | VSCommands | File Structure) now supports Razor, Aspx, HTML and JavaScript files:

JavaScript embedded inside Razor, ASPX or HTML files is supported as well:

Color Highlighting – Color Picker

Clicking on a color in a code editor will now show a color picker popup where you can select a value to be used in place of the old color:

Organize Namespace Imports

You can now easily sort namespace imports (C# and VB) on a project level, or from context menu of a code editor:

Copy Document Content

This command copies the content of selected document to the clipboard without opening the document.

File Structure  – CSS files support

CSS files are now supported by File Structure Window (Tools | VSCommands | File Structure)

File processing settings can be configured from Tools | VSCommands |Options | Text Editor | CSS Files

• C++ (.cpp, .h)
• Xml (.xml + any xml based file format)
• Xaml (.xaml)
• Config files (.config, .clientconfig)
• CSS (.css)

Support for SQL, JavaScript and Razor files is under development so stay tuned!

File Structure – Code Regions support

File Structure window will now display code regions as defined in your code:

(C#)

Code Regions are not limited to C# and VB.NET and you can use them with other file types too!

In CSS files use /* #region region_name */ and /* #endregion */ comments:

(CSS)

In Xml/Xaml/Config files use <!—#region region_name –> and <!—#endregion –> comments:

(XAML)

(.CONFIG)

File Structure – Collapse/Expand Siblings

You can now hold CTRL while collapsing/expanding node in File Structure to collapse/expand all its siblings

File Structure

File processing settings have been moved from IDE Enhancements tab to new Text Editor tab.
New settings allow you to choose to process files in background (throttled updates after edits), on file open and on file save.
Currently only C# and Xml documents have all these options enabled by default. Visual Basic and C++ files will be processed only when when opened for a first time.

You can also specify the lines of code limit after which no processing will be done to files.

File processing and in turn File Structure window can now be refreshed on demand using refresh button located in a top right corner of the File Structure window:

Settings and Options Page

Settings are no longer available from Tools | Options | VSCommands 2010 options page.
Instead, they can be accessed from Tools | VSCommands | Options menu.

This change is caused by poor usability of default options window provided by Visual Studio which is a modal dialog and it cannot be resized:

New Settings window can be docked just like any other non modal window in Visual Studio.
