General Development This article is intended to give you a practical recipe for creating a simple Web Control and extending Visual Studio with support for the control. The control itself is a basic Country Code drop down list such as you would find on many profile entry pages.

columnar selection, sure.. but what about, hex mode, wordwrap off, view in browser, send in email, line folding, sort, convert formats, upcase, lowcase, mixcase, on and on and on? I like VS, but it's editor is very, very weak (other than intellisense and code folding).

On another related note, one thing that I wish the VS environment supported is the full gamut of file selection from the context menu - ie. when you right click on myWebservice.asmx, you would be able to edit the .asmx in text mode, design mode, and the .asmx.cs code behind file by selection - as it is you can't even get to the text mode of the .asmx file without explicitly opening it in source(text) mode.... The navigation between all of these different views/formats is very clunky - I hope it improves in 2005...
