I guess everyone has a list like this, so here is what I’m packing in my VS2010 lunchbox:
Extensions
Productivity Tools
VSCommands 2010 - Install, read about it, then realize why you need this!
Productivity Power Tools -
Power Commands for Visual Studio 2010 -
VS10x Comments Extender -
VS10x Method Block Highlighter -
Environments
Visual Studio 2010 SharePoint Power Tools – A must for SP2010 nerds
WCF REST Service Templates 40(CS) - If you do ANY web and REST services, you will want to get this.
Source Control
MercurialToolbar - Mercurial (hg)
Git Source Control Provider – GitHub etc.
AnkhSVN – Good Old SourceForge makes me have this, but thats ok!
Add-ons
WSPBuilder – Another SharePoint must-have
ReSharper – I cannot even begin to explain how important this is. Buy it. Did you get that? Buy it! And this is from a guy that refuses to buy anything.
TestDriven.NET -
