 | Visual Studio Method Stub Generation
When writing code, it can be useful to refer to methods that do not yet exist, with the intention of adding these methods later. Using Visual Studio's Generate Method Stub command, these methods can be automatically generated. |
| Visual Studio 2005 Default Project Folder
New Visual Studio 2005 projects can be created and saved immediately or the saving can be delayed depending upon the configuration. In each case, when the project is saved, Visual Studio offers a default folder. This location can be changed if required. |
| Visual Studio 2003 Default Project Folder
When you create a Visual Studio 2003 project, the new files must be saved and a default location is presented. If you do not wish to store the files in the standard location and have a preferred folder, this can be made to be the default option. |
| Reformatting Code in Visual Studio
When developing software, it is good practise to use consistent formatting of the underlying source code. On longer projects, particularly when cutting and pasting code, the formatting can slip. Luckily, Visual Studio can reapply it automatically. |
| Visual Studio Property Code Snippet
Visual Studio 2005 includes some helpful shortcuts in the form of code snippets. The property snippet allows a property to be quickly added to a class with a few keystrokes. However, the results vary between versions of the development environment. |
| Visual Studio 2008 Organize Usings Command
When creating new code files or designers that include code behind the design window, using statements are added automatically. With the Organize Usings command, redundant using commands can be automatically removed and the remaining items can be sorted. |
| Visual Studio Full Screen Mode
If you want the maximum available working area, Visual Studio provides the full screen mode. This special mode removes most of the unnecessary toolbox windows and expands the working space to fill the screen. This mode is ideal for use in presentations. |
| Visual Studio Parameter Tips
When using methods with large numbers of parameters or with multiple overloaded versions, remembering the sequence of required parameters can be difficult. Using Visual Studio's parameter tips commands, the need for this recall is removed. |
| Using MDI Layout in Visual Studio
The tabbed document layout in Visual Studio is ideal when switching between code and design windows. However, when using displays with very high resolution, much of the available space can be wasted and the number of visible documents is limited. |
| Visual Studio Interface Implementation Shortcut
When using interfaces in object-oriented programming, implementing large interfaces can be time consuming. Visual Studio assists in this process by providing a handy shortcut to implementing interfaces using either the implicit or explicit syntax. |
