Visual Studio Tips And Tricks

Posted May 30, 2009 | by Jason Faulkner  

I have written several tips in the past about the remarkable (and free) Visual Studio Express Editions made available by Microsoft. If you are a user of Visual Studio, then here is a great article pointing out some tips and tricks you may not know about.

Some points of interest from the article:

  • Store Commonly Used Code Snippets in the Toolbox
  • Using TODO, HACK, and UNDONE Comments
  • Split Your Document Horizontally to Reduce Vertical Scrolling and Increase Productivity While Editing
  • Macros

I use the second one all the time as it is a very fast and convenient way to mark what you need to revisit at a later time.

If you have any tips for using Visual Studio, please share.
