Visual Studio 2010 Pro Power Tools is out !
Pro Power Tools just had been released to the Visual Studio Gallery today !
This cool little add-on really add things that Microsoft forgot to add to Visual Studio…

Highlight Current Line
As the
resolution of monitors increases, it’s becoming more
difficult to find the caret in the code editor. The
highlight current line extension makes it easy to find the
caret by highlighting the line that the caret is on in the
editor. You can even configure the default colour by
changing the setting for “Current Line (Extension)” and
“Current Line Inactive (Extension)” in Tools Options Fonts
& Colors.

HTML Copy
This extension provides
support for the HTML Clipboard format when copying code from
the editor. This means that you’ll no longer have to go fix
up the formatting of your code when you paste it into a TFS
bug form or any other HTML based control.
Triple Click
It’s never been easier
to select a line of code from the mouse by simple
triple-clicking anywhere on the line.
Some developers prefer tabs, others prefer spaces, and nobody likes mixing tabs & spaces. This extension promotes developer harmony by warning as they are open or save a file that has a mixture of tabs & spaces. The information bar also provides an easy way to fix the file to suit your preference.
This extension gives the editor a web browser by adding clickable hyperlinks to symbols in your code as you hold down the Ctrl key.
This extension is useful for making your code a little more readable by aligning the assignments when you type Ctrl+Alt+] such that it takes this:
And turns it into this:
Colorized Parameter Help
This
extension improves consistency with the editor by applying
syntax highlighting to the contents of the Parameter Help
window for C# &VB.
Move Line Up/Down Commands
This
extension maps the Alt+Up Arrow & Alt+Down Arrow keys
such that they will move the current line of code or the
selected lines up and down through the editor.
Column Guides
Since Visual Studio
2002, there has been a not so secret registry key which
allowed user to draw a vertical line in the code editor.
This is very useful to remind developers that their full
line of code or comments may not fit one a single screen.
Thanks to this extension this feature has returned with UI
configure it. Simply place the cursor at the appropriate
column and select Add Guideline from the context menu
