How do I get rid of annoying code tips in Visual Studio 2010?


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?


Solution

  • 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

    enter image description here

    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"
