C# structural highlighting in Visual Studio

Question

Is there any way to make code blocks highlighting/collapsing in Resharper ?
In CodeRush it is called "structural highlighting" feature:



Or maybe other Visual Studio 2010 add-on(preferably free) which would do this simple job and would not conflict with Resharper.

thanks

Wow, the amount of visual noise is disturbing. I find it harder to read the code with all those mutlicolored lines. I think I'll stick with indentation to give me the needed visual ques. But to each his own. – Impact

It is very useful especially if your intends are 2 instead of 4 and you don't place opening brace on new line. – Distinctly

Answer 1

I don't think that Resharper have this feature, instead you could use the free Visual Studio 2010 extension : StructureAdornment

oo I'm looking for that, any idea if there is something similar for VB on VS2005 ? – Winny

I've downloaded this StructureAdornment addon few months ago, and I like it very much. However, it disappeared from the Visual Studio Gallery few days later and is not available anymore. That is shame. – Scary

Answer 2

ReSharper itself can not do this for you out of the box but you could use the free CodeRush Xpress wich is compatible with ReSharper.

I don't think devExpress do code rush xpress any more, that link certainly doesn't work any more. Nor do any of the other links I've found – Kieger

Same here; looks like they have completely wiped it from the net to force people onto the paid version. I don't have the money for both ReSharper and CodeRush at about $25 per month each... – Contrariwise
