I want both plugins to coexist more peacefully. As it stands, VAX fights against ReSharper so much that when I'm primarily doing C# editing, I have to turn VAX off in order to avoid drowning in suggestive list boxes.
I should be able to selectively disable VAX features for C# if I want.
You can tell VA to ignore C# code by adding the .cs extension to:
VA Options -> Projects -> Extensions -> Extensions to ignore
You should not be seeing this many problems with the two programs. Are you using the latest version of both plugin's? We do try to get along nicely with ReSharper, and quite a few of our users use both plugin's at once.
I have the same problem with ReSharper and VAX. Another symptom mine has is that every time I start VS2008 the VAX options dialog comes up. Very strange.
VA_X.dll file version 10.4.1646.0 built 2008.07.18 DevEnv.exe version 9.0.30729.1 msenv.dll version 9.0.30729.1 Font: Consolas 15(Pixels) Comctl32.dll version 6.10.7600.16385 Windows Vista 6.1 Build 7600 2 processors
Darren can you try a more recent build of VA? I recall this problem with the VA options dialog showing up when the IDE was loaded, and from memory it was fixed some time ago.
I was wondering too if Resharper can coexist with VAX? I have VAX and love it's formatting but have heard a lot about Resharper and was thinking of downloading the trial to see what is what. I would use them both in C# so I wonder if they will fight for resources and hose stuff up?
Resharper and VA both try to display suggestions/listboxes.
This will be addressed in our next build (VA will automatically not display suggestions in C# files if Resharper is installed).
Build 1810 (current beta) fixes a problem where auto-inserted parens would be handled by both of us as well. In 1810, VA will automatically refrain from auto-insert of parens in C# files when Resharper is installed.
