Dxcore

As of right about now, you should be able to mosey on over to the DxCore Community Plug-ins page, and grab a copy of CR_MoveFile. This is a plug-in I created primarily as a tool to aid in working in a TDD environment, but which certainly has uses for non-TDD applications. It does basically what the name suggests, it allows you to move a file from one directory in your solution/project structure to another, even one in a different project. I implemented this as a code provider (since it could change the functionality if you move the file from one project to another), so it will appear in the Code menu when you have the cursor somewhere within the beginning blocks of a file (“using” sections, namespace declaration, or class/interface/struct declarations). Once selected you are presented with a popup window which has a tree that represents your current solution structure, with your current directory highlighted. You can use the arrow keys to navigate the directories and choose a new home for your file. ...

Anyone who has been around me for more than a few hours while coding, or who pays any attention to me on Twitter will know that I am a huge fan of CodeRush and Refactor Pro! from DevExpress. I consider these sorts of tools essential to getting the most out of your development environment, and I think CodeRush is one of the best tools available for a number of reasons, not the least of which is it’s extensibility. CodeRush is built on top of DxCore, which is a freely available library for building Visual Studio plug-ins (incidentally, DevExpress also have a free version of CodeRush called CodeRush XPress, which is built on the same platform). DxCore provides any developer who wants it access to the same tools that the folks at DevExpress have for building plug-ins and extensions on top of VisualStudio, and several developers (including yours truly) have done just that. ...
