But when you need it, it's a life saver and so incredibly easy to use.

Sidenote: On my VS2k3/5 installs step over is F10 and step into is F11. I think he got confused with VS6.0 which IIRC is indeed F8.

An ASP .net developer would never use them.

I'm a Windows .net form application developer myself and I'm sure there are many ASP controls that I've never heard of that an ASP developer would use everyday. Does that make me any less of a developer, just because I don't know about something irrelevant to what I do?

Whilst both articles are informative and interesting, the first article should not have suggested that all VS developers should know about the controls they featured.

You configure the IDE when you first run it. F10/F11 are the defaults, but you can set it up to work like older IDEs (i.e. F8/F9) Sun, 17 Sep 2006 23:13:00 GMT donotreply@osnews.com (bryhhh) Comments
