Using RockScroll v1 with Visual Studio 2010 problem.

Question

I knew about RockScroll at this blog, I downloaded it to run on Visual Studio 2010, but it doesn't seem to work with VS 2010.

What might be the problem? Doesn't RockScroll v1 work with VS 2010?

• If so, what would be an alternative?
• If not, what might be wrong?

Answer 1

RockScroll doesn't work with VS2010. Last I checked, there were a couple of somewhat-similar-looking extensions on the VS Gallery, though I don't know if any work with VS2010 and the new editor. I know at MS a couple of VS folks are working on a new RockScroll-like VSIX in their free time, for possible inclusion in a future version of the Pro Power Tools, though I haven't heard anything about it in the last couple months.

Answer 2

Alternatives are MetalScroll and AllMargins.

I haven't tried MetalScroll. I installed AllMargins, and it's neat, but I can't say its been very useful.
