Re: Separating .net from Visual Studio

depends on the instructor of the class, and how hard fasted he is to the 
methodology used, some of my professors would not have accepted the work done 
that way, some would have. 

it may be to your (the originator of this topic line) to find out who is 
currently and likely to be teaching the class there going to be taking, and see 
what they say on the matter?

  Subject: Re: Separating .net from Visual Studio


  I have been using the visual studio IDEs right from VS 6.0 to VS 2000, 2003, 
2005, and since recently 2008 express edition.
  I don't need to draw a lot of windows forms controls etc. so, won't comment 
on those features.
  Otherwise, I find the IDE completely accessible. The big problem about the 
error window popping up while typing has been substantially solved for me in 
the following way:
  When this window pops up for the first time, I take focus to that window 
(ctrl+w e), then, go to the windows menu (alt+w) and then select hide.
  That is it, the error window remains hidden and does not automatically pop up 
untill I explicitly compile the project. The window starts popping up 
automatically again after each compilation and I have to repeat the hide 
operation.
  I do not use any jaws scripts at all for visual studio. I actually go ahead 
and remove the scripts for VS that get installed with jaws automatically. I 
find the default environment sufficient for my use.
  So far as benefits of using the IDE go, I cannot list them all here but some 
of my favorite ones are:
  - auto formatting or pretty printing 
  - intellisense
  - watch windows, auto windows, and immediate windows
  - trace debugging

  Basically, it is not an option for me to use another IDE because I usually 
work as a part of large teams. 
  I am fairly efficient at coding within visual studio and am willing to have a 
small wager with anyone on a one-to-one coding contest for a fairly complex 
multi-threaded app with a lot of classes and interfaces and so on. Having said 
that, I agree that for a smaller, classroom kind of a project, sometimes using 
a notepad kind of app may also be OK.

    Hi all, I was wondering what experiences any of you could share about using 
any of the .net framework languages outside of Visual Studio? It's obviously 
very powerful stuff and stuff I need to be comfortable with, but I really just 
am not finding that I like the VS experience. Apparently I can work with my 
text editor of choice unhindered with the .net SDK, but I wanted to know if 
there are any other practical hurdles I've overlooked. I don't know many folks 
that do their .net in something other than Visual Studio, and I imagine there's 
a good reason why. Apologies if it seems I"m cutting some corners here too, I 
do have a programming class this semester centered around .net, hence the 
inquiry itself, and I'm really trying to find an alternative for VS or at least 
figure out VS real quickly, because it's sure making this course irritating.  
Not a lot of fun when 30% seems to be software dev and the other 70% seems to 
be fighting with the IDE.Any thoughts welcome.

    Best,
    JW
