Visual Studio settings

####Visual Studio (Template.vssettings)

Changes to some of the default settings for Visual Studio, e.g. auto-reload files if saved, show line numbers. Also sets up ReSharper shortcuts.

If you have spent lots of time setting up Visual Studio the way you like it you probably don't want this! Hopefully a couple of useful bits for new people.

Applying

• In Visual Studio, navigate to Tools > Import and Export Settings.
• Select Import selected environment settings.
• (Decide whether to export current settings or not, only matters if you want the option to go back).
• Browse to and select Template.vssettings, then click through to Finish.

####ReSharper (Template.sln.DotSettings)

Sets up some useful ReSharper things (e.g. colour identifiers, code decompilation options) and enforces a sensible default code style. The style enforced is not meant to be dogmatic but hopefully it is a useful starting point for most projects.

Applying generally

• In Visual Studio, navigate to ReSharper > Manage Options.
• Select This computer.
• Click Import / Export Setting > Import From File.
• Import the Template.sln.DotSettings file.

Project specific

• Copy the Template.sln.DotSettings to the root folder of your Visual Studio solution.
• Replace Template with the name of your solution.
• ReSharper project settings should be automatically applied in Visual Studio without restart.
• To update, select team-shared in the Save To picker in the ReSharper options dialog.
