Time for some more fun with VisualStudio macros.

Lets consider this common scenario: You open a project to make a minor adjustment and then realize that in order to compile that project, you need to add all the dependencies (project references) to your solution. For larger projects, that could be a LOT of projects to add… AND you may have to do this recursively! take a look at the reference, locate the project file, add it to your solution, repeat. Since I am indeed THAT lazy, I created a macro to do that for me.

Have you ever tried adding a new reference to lots of projects in a very large application?

If you need to debug in special condition, like you got a loop and you want to debug the 34th item, you could either set a breakpoint and just skip it 33 times (by pressing f5) or you could simply add a condition to this breakpoint.
You do this by right-clicking the breakpoint and choosing "Condition...".
There you can enter any valid C#-Expression, like "ssList[counter] == 1947635". Now the breakpoint is only hit if this condition is true.
