VS.NET IDE

[CodeGuy]

What are everyone's opinions of the new IDE? I have the VC6 mapping on, but I'm still lost. I can't figure out where settings are, and when I do, it seems like I'm using way too many mouse clicks. But I do like the integrated help a LOT -- what a terrific idea. Also, does anyone know if there's a quick (keyboard) way to jump around the properties box? VB used to have this great system where you'd hit (I think) ALT + the first letter of the property to jump into the box. I can't seem to find anything like that in VS.NET. Any help appreciated.

I have seen the VS.NET IDE from the PDC 2000 PDC, and i don't like it, but of course i prefer the VC++ ide (which is my main development tool). -Steven Visit my new redesigned siteLtpb.8m.com Surf the web faster than ever: http://www.404Browser.com

In the VC6 mapping, Alt+Enter will bring focus to the properties window, then you can arrow-key to the property you want. Not exactly VB6-like, but close.

Standard verbage we're asked to use when responding to questions in online forums. I suppose it copyrights the text I write. :confused: Nick This posting is provided “AS IS” with no warranties, and confers no rights. You assume all risk for your use. © 2001 Microsoft Corporation.

I think it's the "This posting is provided “AS IS” with no warranties, and confers no rights. You assume all risk for your use." that is more important to them than asserting your copyright. Otherwise people may quote you as "Microsoft said..." or "A Microsoft Spokesperson said..." which is not what you want.

An uspoken rule in the Windows environment is that ALT+Enter displays properties for the selected item. Have you changed this, or is it just that VB "did things 'different' "?
