Cool Visual Studio 2010 Extensions

Came across the PowerCommands extension for VS2010. Does some cool stuff, like

• giving you a shortcut to reopen recently closed documents (and an optional windows displaying a list of recently closed documents).


• adds a command on the context menu of the solution explorer that will open up a command prompt with the working directory set to the path of the item you clicked on.


• Adds a command to open the containing folder of an item clicked on in the solution explorer.


• copy and paste references.


• email a code snippet.

For those of us used to scroll in any direction by dragging with the middle mouse button in almost any Microsoft product, this AutoScroll extension will re-add that functionality to Visual Studio 2010. (This is not an invitation for a debate on class sizes!)

There are a couple of other add-ons and extensions that I also use (and won't go without) such as Resharper, Ankh (for svn), TestDriven.Net (though Resharper can do the same stuff) and GhostDoc.
