Filed under: Reviews — Tags: , — Sergey Vlasov @ 5:00 pm

Inheritance Margin by Sam Harwell adds special glyphs to virtual methods and properties in the Visual Studio 2010 editor. For interface methods it adds the I glyph and for virtual methods it adds the O glyph:

I glyphs for the interface method

When you hover the mouse over a base glyph it displays what types implement or override this method or property:

When you hover the mouse over a derived glyph it displays all base methods that are overridden:
