Hello ! I have recently got back to VStudio programming. About 4 Years ago I have used VAssist under VStudio 6.0 and it was unreplaceable tool at that time. I am sure it has evolved and is more useful and productive now. But new times come... I have downloaded VStudio 2005 Beta and can only say that Microsoft guys are also doing their job - Intellisence is no more such malfunctioning feature as it was - it is also really helpful thing. It would be interesting, if you, Wholetomato-guys, make some kind of Features comparison- what VAssist does and what VStudio 2005 Intellisence does. As a first [+] for VAssist I can mention that if something does not work, or is missing, you manage to add/fix it within sevral weeks, maybe month. With Microsoft it's more complicated - Service Packs come not so often and rarely extend "small features".

one obvious difference is the autotext feature in VAX. from my limited investigations of VS 2005 beta 2 there is a similar feature, but there is no built in way to edit the rules, or to add new ones. |

Yes, but some kind of list would be helpful. In VS.NET 2005 there is a problem that the editor is extremly overweighted with "smart features" and it FLICKERS ! I hope that it will disappear in the final release (I use July CTP now). So VAssist adds some extra "backgound activity". What I do now, is - I try to work with and without Vassist to get a feeling - how much does it help and how much it disturbs: which Smart functions are present in VS.NET and which are abscent. I think some kind of list would also helpful for you - to convince new .NET 2005 users to buy your super-add on ! |
