button event handler where it drops it?
-
Is there a way to set where to drop an event handler? When I double click on a button it drops mine at line 1500 for some reason. Then I have to cut and paste. It's doing it in a region of code and it expands that region, which is a little annoying. I'm hoping to drop at the top somewhere, possible?

Annoying, isn't it? I've never found a solution to that either, and I've been using VS for 15 years ...

YES VERY VERY ANNOYING lol!! Kind of glad I'm not alone! Come on MicroSoft. Geez a whiz. It puts it in a random spot in the middle of nowhere. Where's the add event by line number?? That would make so much sense. Why MicroSoft Whyyyyy??? It would also be nice to apply a static do not expand my code unless I absolutely say so clause. And my last rant of the day is the 3 word line of code that can be simplified warning? Ok it's 3 words how much simpler can it be? I have a few more rants, but I'll table them for another day. Other than that it's a great product. And if I knew someone that was professional at this to tell me where and why's of doing things I would probably rant a lot less. But as it is all I have is Youtube and a lot of books. And nice forums like this one. So let's all be friends and give us our event handler by line number :)!

You can manually add the handler name to your button in the properties window, and then add the actual handler code wherever you want.

Well ... no. Line number isn't helpful, and it's far too easy to add it in the wrong place and get code that doesn't compile - which might be quite difficult to spot! I'd rather have to move it to the right region of the file manually - which isn't hard to do - than have it appear in the middle of an XML comment, or a
switchblock for example."I have no idea what I did, but I'm taking full credit for it." - ThisOldTony "Common sense is so rare these days, it should be classified as a super power" - Random T-shirt AntiTwitter: @DalekDave is now a follower!

Can you explain? You lost me on the word manually? Do you mean manually type it in to the event handler property text box then manually write it to whereever I want? Screenshots would be nice.

That would be pretty impossible. Since any time you click for the eventHandler MicroSoft prompts you exactly where your event code has landed so that you can start writing what you want to do when the event has occurred. I'm fairly sure choosing the line number rather than have that done for us would work.

It seems that things have changed since I last did this, and even typing the event name into the event handler, VS automatically adds the handler skeleton at the end of the Form class.

Where would VS know where to definitively add the handler, other than at the end of the class definition in the first file of the class? :) The code for a
Formclass could be spread across several files, so this makes identifying a target location harder. I organize my code in#regionelements and have gotten (there - I said it :) ) used to moving the handler to an appropriate location. /raviMy new year resolution: 2048 x 1536 Home | Articles | My .NET bits | Freeware ravib(at)ravib(dot)com

I was suggesting there's no definitive way for VS to know where to place the new handler. /ravi
