does anyone know what visual assist is?

Question

Can anyone please tell me what is the main use of visual assist? Does it really help?

Answer 1

It's a plugin for Visual Studio that gives you better code completion and other productivity features (e.g. code refactoring and better find/replacing). I find VS unusable without it so I would really recommend it.

Answer 2

As TheJuice said. However, bare in mind that the usefulness of it depends on your programming language. I use it heavily when I'm writing C++ code. If I'm writing C# code, Resharper is my tool of choice.
