Helper for using the ErrorList Description.
Download

Make it easier to work with items in the Visual Studio Error List by copying or searching (with Ecosia, Bing, Google, or StackOverflow) for just the description of an error.

No more wasting time copying the whole row and then extracting the description. This extension adds helper commands to make it easier for dealing with errors.

When there are bugs to fix, you don't want to be messing about with re-typing error messages or a clipboard full of unhelpful junk.

Go to Tools > Options > Error Helper and choose to search with Ecosia, Bing, Google, or StackOverflow.


This extension is provided free of charge but will periodically include a message in the output window asking you to support the ongoing development and maintenance of this and other extensions by becoming a sponsor.


A version compatible with Visual Studio 2019 is also available.
