Visual Studio Design Patterns add-in
If you have been programming using a object oriented language, then you must have heard of design patterns. There are a number of books and web sites on this topic, but while using Visual Studio, you would have to go out of the IDE, refresh your memory about what a special software pattern does and type or copy the code for it.
Wouldn't be easier to have an integrated Visual Studio tool to help you select the right pattern and insert the code for you with only a few clicks?
This is exactly what this Visual Studio add-in does: it indexes some commonly known OO patterns like the Gang's of four, presents them in easy to search user interface and inserts the code into your working project.
It provides you with parameters to further customize the patterns and it works for languages supported by Visual Studio like C#, VB.net, C++ flavors and can be extended to other Visual studio supported languages like F#.
Additionally this add-in also provides some unrelated functionality like the ability to easily search online the selected text or item from code, xml, html, error or references windows. The express versions of Visual Studio are unable to use this add-in, but all the premium or community editions could.
A Visual Studio add-in that inserts some commonly known OO pasterns into your working project and searches your highlights online.
