VS tools for C++ that are similar to the .NET tools?

Question

I'm writing in C++ again after primarily using C# for the past couple of years. I've grown quite fond of the refactorings from VS and CodeRushXPress in addition to searching by reference (ie tabbing on a variable takes me to every instance of that variable, but not others named the same). The VS "find" just won't cut it :D. Can people recommend any tools that will make me not miss C# as much?

Answer 1

The best there is atm in Visual Studio is Visual Assist X and if you're a regular C++ programmer using Visual Studio it's well worth the money.

There are some signs that Microsoft got it together with Visual Studio 2010 but I believe it will take it a while to be as good as Visual Assist X has been for a long time now.

Check their trial version , try it and see if it answers your needs.

Answer 2

VAX as recommended by daniel is a wonderful replacement for intellisense in C++ and also offers a few refactoring tools.
