Does anyone know of any free (critical point I'm afraid) code coverage tools for Visual Studio 2010 Professional edition. I know there are commercial offerings such as NCover and DotCover, but due to budget considerations these can't be considered. For similar reasons, upgrading to versions of VS that come with code coverage built in also can't be considered.

Looking around I see there appears to be loads of free options for Java developers, but there doesn't appear to be any (VS integrated) options for .NET developers. Please note that I am looking for VS integrated solutions. I know there is a free community version of NCover that runs from the command line, but only the commercial edition is integrated with the VS IDE.

Edit: If no one is really aware of any free tools currently available, could anyone provide pointers to tutorials on how to create VS plug-ins that decorate code in the source window?

Reposting as potential answer - this question's answers contain some products which may also help with C# code coverage:

@BlueberryFields: Thanks for the link, I've not had time to look into it further but with my question and the referenced links in those articles it doesn't look like there are free VS2010 IDE based components. But it did have a link to another opensourced code coverage tool which I will hopefully get time to look at.
