  • XSD’s in Visual Studio: Past, Present and Future.

      When I was going through the snippet editor code to put it on CodePlex, I wanted to grab a screen shot of the snippet schema.  immediately I was confronted with there being no visual designer for schemas in VS 2008, but the worse part was I could have sworn there use to be.  To clear...

  • VB Snippet Editor

    Over the last week I’ve got a sudden influx of emails about the Snippet Editor.  I’m figuring this is stemming from Lisa’s recent blog entry and her tips and trips for VS 2008 presentation :)  Some of the emails have been really nice praise, folks wanting to add some features, a bug on XP 64...

  • Text preview filters for Vista|Windows 2008

    I really like the preview pane in explorer in Vista, but it doesn’t have previews for a lot of text based files registered.  You can of course write your own or download and install some other preview filters, but personally I find a text preview is all I generally need.  So I re-use the existing...

  • What ever happened to easter eggs ?

    No, not the chocolate ones or the decorated chicken eggs... I mean software easter eggs. Like the ones in Excel where you could display an animated scroll of all the contributors.

  • Too much information or the philosophy of "less is more" ....

    On Monday night I was walking along the streets in Melbourne heading out to give a presentation on VB 2008 . while waiting for some pedestrian lights I noticed this guy standing outside St George's bank with signs all over him. He had newspaper clippings, and what looked like stories scribbled over...

  • Inserting snippets in VB.

    Sara Ford writes about inserting snippets in VB and C#. Unfortunately, Sara hasn't got it quite right. In VB 2008 the statement completion window does NOT show snippet shortcuts. It only shows namespaces, types, members and keywords. It just happens that many of VB's keywords are also snippet...

  • Snippet paths and duplicates in VS 2008

    If you install VS 2008 on a machine that has VS 2005 on it, you'll be prompted to let VS 2008 import as many of your settings from 2005 as possible. Generally this is a good thing, but you might run into some issues with code snippets as you might have both the 2005 and 2008 collections loaded in...
