Kate Gregory has probably forgotten more coding tricks than I have ever learned. That means that she likes her Visual Studio with meat and potatoes. With the new extensibility?model in Visual Studio 2010,? Visual Studio can now be the primary source or protein in your IDE diet. In this episode Kate tells us how to add a little hot sauce using Visual Studio extensions.
