This may seem like a completely obvious tip to some, and like a complete waste of time to others. But you know what? Its something that I've found extremely useful so I'm going to share it anyhow. Hey, this is my blog and I can do what I want! :) Update: I forgot to explain how to enable Highlight Current Line in the original post. I've now added instructions. Highlight Current Line This feature is not available in vanilla Visual Studio - its part of my favorite zero-friction productivity enhancer, ReSharper....

Visual Studio can be a tremendous resource hog, especially if you have a large solution and you're using a productivity add-in or two. On my current project we're running VS 2008, we've got just under 20 projects in the solution, and several of us are using the ReSharper 4.0 EAP nightly builds to enhance our dev-fu.

I'd also recommend keeping an eye on the the ReSharper 4.0 EAP Notes for up to the minute information on the new 4.0 features. There is some seriously cool stuff in there - like Completion with CamelHumps! Superman, the yellow sun has risen once again! :)...

Who here loves ReSharper? I do, I do! Now that I’ve got that out of the way, let me tell you yet one more reason that I <3 ReSharper.
