   MS Visual Studio 2005 Express Addins
  Gday!Are there any free addins for MS Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition?? I know of Visual Assist X, but it doesn't work with express, and I can't seem to get my hands on a trial of .NET, to see if VAx is any good. Are there any other addins for the express edition that you know of??Maybe we could get some sort of list going...Thanks!   
  Sorry to burst your bubble but the visual studio express editions don't support addins at all.  AKA you can't use addins with it.  You get what you pay for after all :S  Microsoft had to remove some features if they were to make it free to the public.  They make too much money off the other editions to compromise that.   ;  While blewisjr is technically correct, he is not entirely correct. TestDriven.NET is a TDD add-in whose author has found a way to "register" a hook into the Express editions. It is kind of hack-ish though. You have to view the properties window of any file in your project and then the add-in is enabled. Still, I know I enjoy having my unit-testing tools enabled in the free express editions :).   ;  Bugger, I was looking forward to "increasing my productivity"...I wish the makers of visual assist X could do that too..   ;  well..i bought Visual Assist. Wish i could get rid of VS2005 intellisense at all.It's driving me mad when this DB is generated...Disabling just doesnt help. The database is still being generated.;  How big is your project/solution?I've never really had a problem with it, and I've had a number of large-ish projects on the go as well...
