This extension works in Visual Studio 2017. Click here to download the latest update for Visual Studio 2017!
This extension focuses on the following features addressing some error scenarios in your coding workflow.
You can either hover over a squiggle to get a LightBulb, or use the default keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Dot (Ctrl+.). Note that for the keyboard shortcut, your caret doesn't need to be positioned on the specific error/token; you can simply be on the same line as the error to invoke suggestions for anything on that line.
Add missing #include - Suggests relevant #include's for unknown symbols in your code
Add using namespace/Fully qualify symbol - Similar to the previous item, but for namespaces
Online Help - Search online (default is MSDN) for help on your error message(s), undefined tokens and undefined functions
Add missing semicolon
Insert missing 'namespace' on using statements
Replace bad indirection operands
Remove break outside of loops or switch
Remove multiple storage classes
Options:
Additional options are exposed under Tools → Options... → Text Editor → C/C++ → Quick Fixes (or type Quick Fixes in Quick Launch [Ctrl+Q]).
Display Peek Definition on add #include - Use this option to immediately see what code was inserted at the top of your file, and make changes inline if desired.
Custom Online Search - Use this option to override MSDN as the search provider for Help. If left blank, MSDN is used.
