I've raised a Pull Request here with a change to allow the Extension to work with Visual Studio 2019.
This should also resolve Issue# 2 - Visual Studio 2019 Community support
Hope this helps!
Great, thanks 👍
Looks like it's last activity was in October 2019 for @jonkeda
Guess the plugin/extension needs a new owner.
I've tried to build this myself, but getting errors like this:
Assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.UI' with identity 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Text.UI, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' uses 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CoreUtility, Version=16.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CoreUtility' with identity 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CoreUtility, Version=15.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' in \VarTypeViewer\Support\IntraTextAdornmentTagger.cs
Any idea how to resolve?
@KoalaBear84 , I think I've fixed that issue with the conflicting 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.CoreUtility' package.
I had to upgrade the Project from .NET Framework '4.7' to '4.7.2' in order to resolve this one.
I've layered the changes on top of the original PR I had raised to allow VS 2019 compatibility.
The latest changes are here to allow local successful builds.
If you want to download the latest fork with my changes applied it's here
I've also attached a copy of the VSIX Installer compiled successfully via my local build if you need a copy to get by in the meantime. (You'll have to extract it first as it didn't let me upload the VSIX file directly.)
Hope this helps!
@jonkeda, is it possible to have these Pull Requests reviewed and hopefully approved/published?
Many thanks!
I have installed it, but it doesn't seem to work on my Visual Studio 2019 Community Preview. Maybe it isn't supported?
Hmm, that may be the case unfortunately.
I only tested this against the vanilla VS 2019 Community Edition when I got the Build working.
I never tested this on VS 2019 Community Preview, so I can't confirm it's 100% working on the VS Preview versions.
I see @jonkeda has merged, that is great news, thanks!
Hmm, I see for Community it has a lower number than the other versions.
<InstallationTarget Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community" Version="[15.0]" />
<InstallationTarget Version="[15.0,16.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Pro" />
<InstallationTarget Version="[15.0,16.0)" Id="Microsoft.VisualStudio.Enterprise" />
Maybe if you add 16 like in the others that it will work, and also swap Version and Id so it's the same as the others.

Likewise @jonkeda, many thanks for the approval and merge!
It looks like the latest changes in the 'vsixmanifest' file after the merge are now reflecting as supporting 'Community/Professional/Enterprise' up to 17.0 (Which should cover every VS 2019 iteration including VS 2019 Preview according to those links)
@KoalaBear84, I think this should cover your requested change to have the 3 Version ranges corrected and tidied up.
Latest version of VSIX Manifest after PR# 3 merged
I'm not sure what would be involved in publishing the repo to the Visual Studio Marketplace as I've never done this, but if this can be done the latest changes for this Extension would be available to download for everyone.
As for this Extension having issues on VS 2019 Preview as you had reported @KoalaBear84, I'll try and have a dig into it this week if I can.
Thanks for the updates guys!
Aww. Looks like the 'online' extension version (0.8 published after this merge) is not the same as 0.6, which I see in the VSIX Manifest.

We're almost there! 😁
You might want to consider buying a licence of R# (resharper).
They have the var type viewing incorporated.
I don't use this extension anymore. :-)
I understand, situation is getting better as there is a good refactorer.
And if with only a small change to the current extension is needed to keep it alive, I would appreciate it 😇
I've put in another Pull Request here to bump the Version Number in the Manifest from '0.6' to '0.9'. (Latest current Version in VS Gallery is Version '0.8' which allows Extension to work with Visual Studio 2019)
This should (hopefully) fix your reported issue of the Extension Version mismatch @KoalaBear84.
Sorry @jonkeda, this should hopefully be the last time we trouble you for a good while!
I actually used to use ReSharper a ton and was a huge fan but I'm now switched over to VS 2019's built in '.NET Productivity Tools' instead, they're getting really quite powerful now.
@jonkeda If you have time, please release it to the marketplace 😇
Also written it as Q & A on the Marketplace, and also writing it here.
I'm trying to install it in VS 2019 Preview, but it wont by default showing the following (only when trying to install it from VS, not through marketplace): https://i.imgur.com/WMpv2B9.png

Could you please check the support with VS 2019? (Maybe a clean VM is needed because you might have the dependencies?)
Thanks in advance!
