Is there a visual studio automatic save configuration setting/addon

Question

I use the java IDE IntelliJ IDEA and one of the features I like is that there's no saving. Everythings's always saved and you just use history navigation. I tend to have both editors open and I'm always forgetting to save in VS.

I'm running vs 2008 with resharper 4.5 but as far as I can tell this isn't achievable or configurable (without writing my own plugin).

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Visual Studio 2008 will probably be the same:

However, it's not "no saving" but you can set it down to 1 minute.

Answer 2

There is an autosave, but I must admit that it doesn't seem to always work for me - notably I suspect that it only saves files, but not projects/solutions, or the .user and .suo files. I don't have any links to prove this mind you.
