So I have a form with lots of controls that all have a tab index.

After inserting some extra fields, I have to edit the index of all controls after the new ones.

Is there a simple way to automate this in Visual Studio, or is there some sort of plugin?

Make the tabindex's increment by 5 or 10 then if you do insert new controls you dont have this issue.

MZ-Tools has a TabIndex Assistant.

Assuming you are talking about a Windows Forms UI. You can click Menu: View | Tab Order, then just click through th controls that you want the tab order to be in. There doesn't appear to be anything similar for web-based UI in Visual Studio.
