"I have never actually emailed to a company regarding one of their products but I suddenly felt the urge after upgrading my copy of Visual Assist X. I liked it a lot before but my God it's incredible now!"

Visual Assist X for Visual Studio

Write Code Faster

Typing Features
Long, descriptive names for symbols makes reading and understanding code easier. Typing long names frequently, however, is cumbersome. Don't waste time! Type a few letters or an acronym for a symbol, and Visual Assist X will display a list of suggestions. Type a shortcut to expand frequently used snippets of code. Visual Assist X has many features to help you code efficiently.

Suggestion Lists

Accelerate typing with suggestion lists that appear as you type.

Acronyms

Type an acronym - a short and simple abbreviation - and Visual Assist X finds the symbol you want.

Shorthand

If a members listbox is open, type a substring to see all members containing the substring.

Surround Selection

Simple but valuable commands make it easy to surround selections with comment characters, parentheses, braces, and #ifdef for C/C++ users.

Insert of },),]

Speed the typing of parenthesis and braces by having them closed automatically. You control the format.

VA Snippets

Accelerate the entry of commonly-used symbols and code snippets with VA Snippets.

Format after Paste

Run the Format Selection command of the IDE after every multi-line paste.

Multiple Clipboards

With Visual Assist X, you have the option to see a traditional paste menu, instead of the clipboard ring, when you press Ctrl+Shift+V.

Insert _ after m and Shift

Users who write with hungarian notation often prefix symbols with m and underscore. Speed the entry of the two characters by tapping Shift after m. The underscore appears automatically.
