      You guys are starting to creep me out. Since when did The Lounge become a forum for marital disputes. ;P

      This is way cool - I wonder if he want's tea, I am heading downstairs... :-) We play this game, originally called baby tennis... the game is to bounce the baby back and forth, until one of us drops the ball.... (it used to go something like this... go give daddy a kiss.... then go give mommy a kiss.... then go give daddy a hug... then go give mommy a hug.... the winner won, when the child gave up running from parent to parent....) The child now 15 years old, has seems to have caught on to the game, and doesn't play well.... So we have to invent new ways to play tennis.... Usually involving innocent bi-standers..... hehehehehe (so sorry).... hhehehehehe:-O Joanne Cassick Current Accountant Now, IT Student

          Just wondering if dual monitor (bigger screen space) will make using Visual Studio feels better? Most people said it is great for Photoshop. Not so much for programming/IDE. Like to hear your experience. Cheers.

          I completely disagree. I would be very uncomfortable NOT doing dual screen displays. You keep your application and supporting windows on Monitor A, the default and primary monitor and all your Dev tools, trace tools, performance analyzers, profiling graphs, and just over all debugging on the other. I could easily see three, put your dev on monitor B, and move all the debugging, tracing, perf monitors, and profiling plots onto screen C. But this coming from the guy who can justify 1 terabyte without even blinking... ;) _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.

                        Yes! I have VS open on one monitor and spec, MSDN, etc. open on the second. It makes life so much easier.

                          I run 3 lcd's. My preference is to have my current app jump to the left screen so I can see what it was doing as I hit a breakpoint (no more white screen leaving you guessing what was going on at that point), my main monitor holds the ide so I can see the code at that point, and the right-hand one usually holds the webpage I'm referencing. It costs a bit more to get set up, but it is sooo worth it.

                              Yes its better, and it would be even better still is Visual Studio was designed to take advantage off multimple monitors e.g. a MTL MDI, which is an two or more MDI frames, maximised on each screen, with the ability to drag and drop documents between them to rearrange the code you are looking at. Either way, 2 monitors works nicely when debugging. Debugger in one window, app in the other. Actually, put simply, the more monitors the better. We use up to six here at work, and I have two at home. Two is the minimum I would want to work with.

                                Yep, everyone I know who have used dual monitors have strongly insisted that it has tremendously helped their productivity, and that they couldn't imagine going back to single. And some guys like David Wulff use triple LCDs at work! Regards, Nish

                                          I'm in that group. Once you get 3 you'll never go back. I'm planning on adding number 4 before to long. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!:-D

                                          I only read CP for the articles. Code-frog System Architects, Inc.

Well, technically speaking, it's still hooked up to my projector--at least now I don't have to constantly swap cables around. My cheap-ass-10-year-old-found-in-a-dumpster ATI Xpert 128 is good enough to drive that and not much else. Anyone know of a tuner card that will work when configured as something *other* than primary display?
