Visual Studio Spell Checker. It's not perfect and often has false positive on technical terms but it still saved my from shipping misspelled APIs so many times. You don't wanna be in that situation 🙂
And it's still there in .net 8
Some other good ones from my install list:
- Output enhancer: Generally useful to quickly see if a build succeeds from the color alone
- Warn about TODOs: Not recommending this extension in particular over others but I do recommend having some way of tracking TODO comments
- Code alignment: My workplace has strong code ascetics standards and this extension adds buttons to automate a lot of such tasks
- File path on footer: Useful for tracking down files with the project structure doesn't match the folder (especially for C/C++ projects using filters)
- (OpenGL) GLSL Language integration: Provides IntelliSense support for GLSL shaders. There's a similar extension for HLSL
I previously used Viasfora for colring bracket pairs but now the option is built-into VS
