• Myron Marston VS 2005 seems unusable for large VB converted project. How do I turn off the background compiler.

  VS 2005 seems unusable for large VB converted project.  How do I turn off the background compiler. I have a fairly large project that I migrated from VB6 to VS2005.  This is the RTM version of VS2005.  There are many issues that I need to fix up in the code, but every time I change one line of code, my system runs 100% CPU for 30 seconds. This is not even close to usable.  You might think I have a slow machine, but I am runni ...Show All

• mkrgoede Control Y !!!

  What have you people done to Control-Y For the past 10 years that I've used Windows this meant REDO (opposite of UNDO). In VB2005 it deletes a line. SERIOUSLY!!! not funny. Ctrl+Y was Yank line in VB6, so you could argue that we shouldn't have switched it to in VS.NET/VS.2003/VS.2005 Seriously, getting the shortcuts set up in a way that suites everyone is impossible. There are too many users who insist th ...Show All

Something like the possiblity in C# after += would be very appriciatet. Or have I overlooked a convienient way to creat ...Show All
