It is modular, so you can adjust it to fit your needs. This is a 300 level session for people who know what extensions are. I have a Visual Studio 2010 version of the talk as well. Note: this article, demos, videos, and deck are all for Visual Studio 2008. By proving that these ten exist and are useful, you prove that the Gallery is useful. What's more, at least some attendees will take a look around the Visual Studio Gallery for more extensions. The idea is that all the attendees will be inspired to download and start to use at least one of these.

This presentation shows just ten, all of which are free. But because they aren't part of the product - they are extensions - many developers don't know they exist. Visual Studio extensions give developers a dramatic productivity boost. My goal is to increase developer awareness of Visual Studio Extensions by making it easy for anyone to deliver a presentation on them at a user group, code camp, or the like. The speaker notes and demo script, along with the videos, are part of the package, and you won't learn everything from just the text of the article. This article is designed to give you what you need to deliver a successful presentation. It tells you the purpose of the series and gives you some tips on presenting my material. Before you read it, please read the Introduction. This article is part of my series on Visual Studio Extensions.
