Visual Sidekick

Visual Sidekick 3 is an impressive addin for Visual Studio and C++ that can significantly enhance the productivity of C# and C++ developers. This software boasts a vast, up-to-date, and searchable database that includes project classes, symbols, files, and project folders.

Using a single sub-string filter query, Visual Sidekick can efficiently and dynamically search all project files and symbols, saving developers precious time. This addin supports multiple Integrated Development Environments (IDEs), such as Visual Studio .NET 2005, 2003, 2002, and Visual C++ 5 and 6, enabling developers to enjoy its benefits in their preferred IDE.

Moreover, Visual Sidekick supports various programming languages, including C++, C#, Managed C++, and C++/CLR symbols. Browsing symbols is a breeze as developers can search all classes, namespaces, symbols, files, and folders using a single, intuitive tree structure. Additionally, developers can search for any symbol fast using a fast, incremental substring-search feature.

With search for different scopes, developers can search for classes, enums, methods, macros, and other C++/C# symbols across the entire solution or within the current file and its headers. They can also browse and search the solution's classes in a hierarchy tree view, making navigating code more effortless.

Visual Sidekick offers several handy features such as the ability to browse, navigate and filter standard libraries and the generation of C++ method body stubs automatically from a class header specification, which enables developers to generate code with ease. The addin can also report on the number of files, classes, symbols, lines of code, comments, and much more.

The software's view clipboard history allows developers to view and paste any of the last 15 clipboard copy operations, fostering a more efficient workflow. Additionally, they can browse and edit non-Visual Studio code bases using Visual Studio by dragging the files or folder from Explorer onto Visual Sidekick.

In conclusion, Visual Sidekick 3 is an excellent addin that can help any C++ and C# developer increase efficiency, improve code navigation, and simplify the code generation process.
