  New Visual Studio Extensions in the Gallery
  Eric Battalio [MSFT] Wednesday, October 30, 2013 5:18 PM

  There are a couple new (and exciting!) extensions available in the Visual Studio gallery:

  • PGO Plug-In. This tool improves the user experience for PGO in Visual Studio 2013 by providing a guided experience through the various phases of the PGO process. It also introduces the ability to perform PGO for Windows Store applications targeting x86 and x64 applications and more!
  • PdbProject Extension.This extension will allow Visual Studio 2012 to open and convert pdb into a vcxproj. The converted project will load as a normal VC project and provide IDE features such as tag browsing, intelli-sense and object browsing.

  While there, check out the many other extensions available for Visual Studio and be sure to leave your feedback!

  Thanks!
