Visual Assist X is a plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio developed by Whole Tomato. It primarily enhances IntelliSense and syntax highlighting. It also enhances code suggestions, refactoring options and spell checking support for comments. It can also detect basic syntax mistakes, such as use of undeclared variables. Unlike ReSharper, Visual Assist X also supports C++.
As of November 2012, Visual Assist X currently supports Visual C++ 6 and all editions of Visual Studio (including Visual Studio 2012), except Express editions.
Famous quotes containing the words visual and/or assist:
“Dialogue should simply be a sound among other sounds, just something that comes out of the mouths of people whose eyes tell the story in visual terms.”
—Alfred Hitchcock (1899–1980)
“When Dad can’t get the diaper on straight, we laugh at him as though he were trying to walk around in high-heel shoes. Do we ever assist him by pointing out that all you have to do is lay out the diaper like a baseball diamond, put the kid’s butt on the pitcher’s mound, bring home plate up, then fasten the tapes at first and third base?”
—Michael K. Meyerhoff (20th century)
