Re: Visual Studio Express

alright Christy, 

I have a zip file here full of hints for C# and the VS 2005 IDE, most of which 
should work in 2008 as well or at least get you in the vicinity of what you 
need, would you like it? if so send me your e mail off list and I'll get it to 
you.

  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
