Re: Visual Studio Express

little poking at settings. i came up with in
projects and solutions under build. open it up
and go down to build out put verbosity and set it
to quiet. leave the other setting alone and you
will like the difference you get. coding without
being bugged by the debugger and a debug error list when you want it.

Thanks. Apparently that application key trick only works on one of the elements of the tree. I was trying it on the top level, and the view code option wasn't there. I got it to work this time, though.
Any hints about getting rid of the constant error box? It's actually interfering with my typing the code, and the key for hiding the error listed in my hotkey list isn't working. It just brings up a menu. Every time I type a line, if I stop for even a split second, up pops an error list.

Ok you should learn the commands here is a few.

control-alt-l
opens the menu tree where you can go through your source files I think its called the solution tree view.
If you want to view the code of one of the files you can use the application key and arrow down to view code. This is only necessary in forms because if you just hit enter it will open up the form view. If your on a regular class source file it will open up if you hit enter on it.
If your in form view and your trying to drop controls to get to the tool box its control-alt-x
There are so many commands its hard to list them all but Jaws does a pretty good job if you have the scripts installed just type insert-h.

Hi all,
So I've been playing around some with visual studio express, and I'm still running into some difficulties.
First of all, while I very much like having a program help me with syntax and the like, I find that if a program is offering help when I don't even want it, it's a lot more distracting than actually helpful. so here's the situation I'm coming across.
any time I start a new project or load up an existing one, I get stuck in some kind of tree view. From looking through the menus, there are a lot of options, but I see nothing that allows me to get into the code editor. The hotkey list I have says that you can press f7 to get there, but even that doesn't work. Sometimes I can press escape to get out of the tree, but not always.
Secondly, when I do manage to get to the code editor, I'll be right in the middle of typing or editting a line, and all of the sudden up pops an error list. that's all well and good if I'm compiling, or ask it to check for errors, but I've not even finished the line yet.
I'd much much rather begin with the ability to edit, compile and debug my code, and be able to explore the helpfulness of the program as I go, not because it insists on putting things in my face while I'm typing. Does anyone have any suggestions? Some way of simplifying it a bit so I can actually try out my code? I'm usually really good at learning software but I'm truly baffled. 

Oh, and I do have the visual studio scripts installed.
Thanks!
Christy
