An old/new extension to VS2008 has been released on Friday, in the Visual Studio Gallery : PowerCommands. It is the replacement of CoolCommands, and contains most of it's features and new features like :
- Copy/Past class.
- Transform templates
- Remove and sort Using's
- etc...
There are a couple of missing, but important features like : Demo Font and Wheel font zooming. For the full feature list and download go to PowerCommands at Visual Studio Gallery.
PowerCommands was created using the Visual Studio Extensibility framework (VSX), which is part of the VS 2008 SDK. This framework is used to create extensions to visual studio 2008.
BTW, if you installed CoolCommands 4.0 in your VS2008, I suggest you uninstall it (If you don't there will be duplicates of some menu entries - like "Open Project Folder"...) :
- Open Visual Studio Command Prompt (On Vista run as administrator).
- Navigate to the CoolCommands folder in your computer.
- Run the following commands :
regasm /unregister CoolCommands.dll /Codebase
regpkg /unregister CoolCommands.dll /root:Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\9.0 /Codebase
devenv /setup
