An otherwise nice extension, done to death with useless features like the stackoverflow thingy and some others. But the worst is that it breaks the MSBuild process when you are using SmartAssembly's MSBbuild tasks. Probably other 3rd party build tasks will break the same way. Also extremely annoying is the self/auto-update without user intervention. Count me out of this extension.
Hi Richard, It's hard to reply here in Reviews, Q and A or our feedback forum (vscommands.uservoice.com) would be a much better place. Alternatively you can always drop us email regarding any issues to support@vscommands.com
To disable StackOverflow Notifications you can just right click on a toolbars area in Visual Studio and disable VSCommands Toolbar.
Differences between Lite and Pro versions are listed here: http://vscommands.com/feature-comparison/ You will see there that most of the features are in Lite version with few more advanced being in Pro.
OK, you've now installed a single-button toolbar above everything else to display StackOverflow notifications. Although there's a checkbox in the options to turn this feature off, it doesn't work - click the checkbox and it stays checked.
Also, half of the features you list for this add-in are only available in the "Pro" version - something which isn't obvious from looking at the description of the "Lite" version.
I've completely lost patience with this add-in. It's not worth the hassle just to get the few features that are in the "Lite" version.
A nice collection of tools, but some features like 'prevent accidental drag and drop' are rather annoying and should have better usability: screen tips explaining why something fails to work as expected and how to get it working again.
Hi Jarek,
Any plans to provide an installation for VSCommands that integrates with VS 11 Beta? I'm debating whether to early adopt VS 11, but not having access to VSCommands is a bit of a deal-breaker for me.
Thanks,
Paul.
Hi Paul,
I am planning initial release of VSC11 within next two weeks.
It will not have all features from VSC10 available right away, but I'll be converting them to new VS SDK and making incremental releases soon after that.
Kind Regards,
Jarek Kardas
Hi Jarek,
That sounds great.
I also think not every feature are nedded, yet, because they have implement some of your feature in VS11 ;)
greetings

Hi Jarek,
How's progress going with this? Had to rebuild my laptop the other day and made the switch to Win 8 + VS 11: missing VSCommands :-(
Cheers,
Paul
I purchased the pro version to get the "Debug as different user" feature but it only support standard login credentials. How do I debug using my secure card?
Always when I hit "Save" on the options, the IDE gets stuck.
1. The execution of the saving should be optimized
2. It should be executed asynchronously
My code is literally very large one. It have one class and many methods. When I scroll down I used to see the class name and method name at the end of class/method definition. I have uninstalled and installed the extension, but now I dont see those.
Hello,
I'm developing a very large VB.NET solution(many files;many projects). Saveing(strg + s) a single vb.net class takes about 1second.
With activated "VSCommands 2010" the save process can take up to 8seconds. Do you have a solution(e.g. an optimized configuration)
Thank You
After click edit project file, even didn't change anything, can't reload anymore. Keep receving
"A project with that name is already opened in the solution." error message
I am using the Friendly Name option of VSCommand in a TFS Environment.
Every time I open the solution, TFS wants to do a check-out of the solution even though it doesn't change anything to it.
Do more people have this problem? And what can be the cause of this problem?
I use the friendly name option by adding the following lines to the solution:
GlobalSection(ExtensibilityGlobals) = postSolution
VSC__SolutionFriendlyName = {branchName}
VSC__SolutionFriendlyNamePathRegex = .*\\(?<branchName>.*)\\.*\\(?<solutionName>.*(?:.sln))
EndGlobalSection
I've been facing a weird situation since last update (3.8.0.4) and I finally found what is causing my VS IDE to crash. My laptop's keyboard has an EEUU key distribution and since my first (and maybe the only one ;-)) language is spanish I've added a spanish USB keyboard. Now, to switch keyboard settings on Windows easily I configured a keystroke (Ctrl + Shift + 1). Everytime I use that sequence, my VS IDE is freeze.
Any idea of what's going on?
PS: Thanks for this useful tool
Hi Jean,
Simillar problem has been reported before but I was unable to reproduce it locally (http://getsatisfaction.com/dpstudio/topics/vs_crashing_when_using_the_ctrl_shift_1_shortcut_to_switch_to_a_different_keyboard_layout).
Could you let me know which operating system do you have installed on your machine?
Thank you in advance,
Jarek
Hi Jarek,
I've Windows 7 64Bits installed on a Dell Inspiron 1764.
In my computer, a very straight way to reproduce this issue is: writting code you find that something went wrong, press backspace to delete the mistyped code and try to change keyboard layout using the sequence previously indicated. At this point intelisense's popup window is displayed and the whole VS IDE Window turns into gray.
Hope it helps!
Thanks..
Jean Paul
Thank you for the details,
Could you also tell me which project types do you work with?
If it's C++, then it may be caused by background file processing which uses VS SDK COM objects.
This can be disabled from Tools | VSCommands | Options | Text Editor | C++
Hi Marco,
Sorry for this issue, I'll try to reproduce and fix as soon as possible.
Can you tell me what kind of project are you trying to debug (c#/vb,web application/mvc3/winforms/etc.).
Thank you in advance,
