I'm open to suggestions for a subtitle here! (Really!)

CodeProject May Competition

The CodeProject May Competiton is to make a VS.NET addin. Obviously, if Jamie entered, he would win first place. :) However, I was thinking I might take a stab at it. I've got a few ideas for what might make a cool addin, but I was wondering what you guys would want to see. What would be the (coolest|most useful|most interesting) thing for you that VS.NET doesn't already do?

I'd like to see a refactoring tool, or a comments Editor. Or even perhaps an extention to the Class viewer that allows class editing.. something that looks like the class wizard but is realtime. "one class at a time" editing.

Intellisense when coding directly in a .aspx page without CodeBehind would be cool.

Yea.. Yea.. I know I should use CodeBehind and I do, but sometimes it just easier to not.

Hmmm...I don't think I can do the Intellisense thing in an aspx file. It seems to me that that would have to be a built-in thing.

However, I do like the comments editor idea from Amber. You could view/edit all the XML comments in a C# file. That would be cool...hmmmm...more to think about this weekend.

Some ideas off the top of my head:

XSLT debugging...
Regular Expression designer/tester...
SQLXML Query Template/Updategram designer...
