Visual Assist by Whole Tomato Software is a productivity plugin for Microsoft Visual Studio that enhances your workflow for C/C++ and C# development. It improves upon IntelliSense and syntax highlighting, streamlines code navigation and refactoring, and offers intelligent code completion and generation. Additionally, Visual Assist provides static code analysis to identify potential bugs and performance issues, all designed to save you time and effort while writing, reading, and maintaining your code.

The Visual Assist 2024.7 update improves reference management with the new "Improved Read and Write Reference Highlighting" feature. This latest version adds the ability to disable reference highlighting when it is not needed, giving developers a cleaner, more readable workplace. Read and write references will now immediately stop highlighting as soon as the cursor moves away, reducing visual clutter while still allowing you to quickly discover references when needed. This enhanced approach to reference highlighting seeks to streamline the coding process, helping developers to stay focused and productive in their workspace.

Visual Assist is licensed on a per-developer basis and offers three licensing options: Standard, Network Named User, and Concurrent. All new licenses include a 1 Year Maintenance Subscription, and Subscription Renewals are also available. See our Visual Assist licensing page for full details.
