Visual Studio 2010 Power +25 with PowerCommands 10.0

FreeToDev - Power Commands for Visual Studio 2010

“Moving to VS2010 felt like a step backwards in some respects as it doesn’t implement many of the great productivity enhancements that the Power Commands for Visual Studio 2008 offered.

The good news is that the PowerCommands for Visual Studio 2010 are are now available here.

One thing to note is that after installing the Visual Studio extension, you will probably need to enable it for administrators.

Visual Studio Gallery - PowerCommands 10.0

“PowerCommands 10.0 is a set of useful extensions for the Visual Studio 2010 adding additional functionality to various areas of the IDE. The source code is included and requires the VS SDK for VS 2010 to allow modification of functionality or as a reference to create additional custom PowerCommand extensions. Visit the VSX Developer Center at http://msdn.com/vsx for more information about extending Visual Studio.

Cool…

On a related note, I’m not seeing the mentioned “included source”, but that could be because I’m looking directly into the vsix file. Maybe it’s in the referenced VS SDK? Or am I having an ID-10-T moment? (I’ve asked the question and will update this post when I know more).

Do you know why it has been removed? I assume it wont work with RC1?

Thanks!!

@anton,
I believe they (MS) cleared out the Gallery just prior to the RC. To remove all the Beta stuff that might not work, etc...
