Syntax Highlighting improves the understanding of source code by changing the font and/or the background. Code elements can be detected more quickly using highlighting. It allows a visual distinction of fields, properties, method parameters, variables, classes, structures, enumerations, methods, events and much more.

Note to new users: Intellisense and build/upload are two seperate functions of Visual Micro. You might see a few invalid intellisense errors (which you should report to the forum). After building a project with substantial code changes intellisense will become more accurate. However for some boards it is only 99% but can easily be extended.... Set the "Errors List" window to "Build Only" and/or "Open Documents Only" if false intellisense errors are annoying you, +report your code + board name to the forum thanks!

The best navigational tool for Visual Studio just got better. Relying on a Roslyn-based custom-built file code model, this new version of CodeMAP is perfectly accurate, immensely faster, with an impeccable notification system and almost imperceptible UI thread overhead. If you're not already, you will get addicted to CodeMAP's elegant and efficient presentation. Everything is there: sorting, grouping, nested code representation, code collapsing with editor sync, navigation history, member highlighting with editor sync, drag'n drop reordering, built-in and custom views etc. Testimony to CodeMAP's flexibility and power are its amount of options. You can customize almost anything you can think of in order to make it yours.

Debug third-party code, even if you don't have the source. NET Reflector Pro provides the latest version of .NET Reflector, plus a Visual Studio add-in containing the Pro features .NET Reflector Pro integrates .NET Reflector into Visual Studio to allow you to seamlessly debug into third-party code and assemblies, even if you don't have the source code for them. For example, you may have a project that contains a third-party assembly, but you cannot step into it because you do not have the source code, symbols, or PDB file. After you have installed .NET Reflector Pro, you can use the Visual Studio add-in to select and decompile the assembly that you are interested in.

GhostDoc is a Visual Studio extension that automatically generates XML documentation comments for methods and properties based on their type, parameters, name, and other contextual information. When generating documentation for class derived from a base class or for interface implementation (e.g. .NET Framework or your custom framework), GhostDoc will use the documentation that Microsoft or the framework vendor has already written for the base class or interface.

The Task Canvas window is closed automatically when you close the solution. If you try to close the Task Canvas window manually, the confirmation dialog is displayed. Technically, the Task Canvas window is a document tab and when you, for example, run the Close All Documents command, Visual Studio tries to close the Task Canvas window as well. This dialog prevents such accidental closing. On the other hand, if you frequently open and close the Task Canvas window manually, you may want to disable this confirmation by unchecking the Confirm before closing option. window manually, you may want to disable this confirmation by unchecking the Confirm before closing option.

JustDecompile is available for free download individually, or it can be purchased with priority support as a part of DevCraft - the most comprehensive HTML5 and .NET toolbox. JustDecompile is fast. In fact, really fast. When tested against the leading competitors, for .NET framework decompilation time, JustDecompile came out 10 times faster than the leading commercial decompiler. Try it and verify the results for yourself.
