Import Export Visual Studio Environment

When you open Visual Studio 2005 first time after installation, It will be ask you to select working environment. Suppose I am C# developer and I have to work all most with C# language. I will select Visual C# Development Settings, and same think for Visual Basic, C++ and Web.

Visual Studio allows you to change your working environment, Toolbar, Menubar, Panel places, Font, Color, Shortcut keys. All most all of them.

I have seen many times, that many developers have it's own style to work with IDE, and those developers fills unfamiliarly to do work with another IDE settings.

If you have to format your PC, You will be loss all of your settings, favorite bookmark, your own quick shortcuts etc. But Visual Studio 2005 have a great feature to Import Export Environment Settings. it's easy to use...

Select Tools -> Import and Export Settings...

Customize Export Information, Here you can see that Export Setting wizard is really exports detailed information for the environment.

just save File here do you want to store in directory.

When do you want to Import any settings select "Import selected environment settings" option, and select file form the directory. but there is also another option to just change environment which one Visual Studio ask you first time when you start it.

This is one think who helps us to make IDE better and better to work with it.

Go To Definition

Today I work with C#.NET, many-many classes, objects, property, method, variable etc.
In have to remember many thinks when you are developing code in a big project. In earlier version of .net from vb6 time there is a method “Go To Definition” to move cursor to the declaration line. And that time u can know they all thinks about that objects. This one is a good feature.

Just right click and click on “Go To Definition”

And in the next movement your cursor will be there. it it one of the easy way

but suppose if you there are many many forms, class i think that it is not possible to move one form to another and again move back. it is just lost of time.

in Visual Studio 2005, working with C# language. there is a special menu for "Code Definition Window"

View - Code Definition Window it's shor cut key is Ctrl+W, D (u can also change.)

just click on this menu and u will found and move cursor in code line any where. u will see quickly response of Code Definition Window that u can see it definition line.

when i put the cursor near "var1" in the messagebox line it show me it declaration place. here i show u a small example, but this should be very usefull in a big project.
