(Backup bookmarks.bak before as well)

Visual Studio Window Title Changer Extension

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=IstvanPasztor.VisualStudioWindowTitleChanger

Changes the Visual Studio Window Title by evaluating a user defined expression. Extremely helpful when working with multiple branches of the same project.

Script I use to see current branch in TFS (path) or GIT (git branch) in title:

if( sln_open ) {
if (exec git_branch 2 "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD" sln_dir) {
//GIT
sln_filename + (exec git_branch 2 "git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD" sln_dir ? " - git["+git_branch+"]" + " - Visual Studio 2015")
} 
else 
{ 
//TFS or Standard project
sln_filename + " - (" + sln_dir +")" + " - " + "Visual Studio 2015"
} 
}
else {
//No solution open
"Visual Studio 2015"
}

 

Run, monitor, and manage builds for TFS/VSTS from Visual Studio


In Visual Studio 2015:
You can run, monitor, and manage your builds from the Builds page

If you’re not already connected to the team project that you want to work in, then connect to the team project.
Choose Home icon Home, and then choose Builds Icon Builds (Keyboard: Ctrl + 0, B).

Productivity Tips for Visual Studio 2017

I’ve written a few blog posts thus far regarding Visual Studio 2017, so I thought I would take some time to discuss the features that were introduced in this latest version that might help your productivity, or that you just may find useful.

You’ll notice that the title of this post mentions that they are “secret”. This is because all of these features are disabled by default, so you’ll need to enable them, either locally (per project) or globally, to take advantage.
