When I first open Visual Studio 2010, I accidentally said "Yes" to help/code tips or something. Now whenever I type code, I get these annoying pop-ups explaining what happened or trying to improve my code, etc. These help tips are making it difficult to code and causing Visual Studio to run slowly.
How do I disable them?
Edit: my apologies for posting this. I did not realize it was off-topic. Does Stack Overflow have a proper place for questions about software tools such as IDEs?
These are the help tips from CodeRush which is a IDE productivity tool from DevExpress. You can disable it by going to your tools menu and select DevExpres->UnLoad
Doing this will not only disable the smart tips, but the whole CodeRush.
Personally, It is not annoying for me. This helps me to be more productive. In a single statment "I love CodeRush to have in my VS environment"
