Andy wants my blood but on an internal email thread both Don Box and Chris Sells also want it. I was responsible for the new C# keybindings (I’ll let you have a moment to stick that pin into the Microsoft PM Voodoo doll you all have J ). It all

Yesterday I watched a usability study where the user was a little frustrated about seemingly gratuitous changes we have made in the product. They were using a pre-release version of VS 2005 and quickly asked these questions: Why is there a MenuStrip in

I'm working on an issue with the C# refactoring and wanted to get your opinion. One of the things we are delivering in VS 2005 is the ability to reliably rename methods, types etc. We have a current issue where you can be in some code and you want to

As I mentioned earlier this month I used VPC for the TechEd demo. Everything worked well but I had a strange problem that I couldn't quite work out. Today I took advantage of working at Microsoft and went and met some QA people from the VPC team and got

Well my presentation at TechEd is over and it all went well. All the demos worked (perhaps a bit slowly at times) but I think people got a feel for the C# IDE enhancements that we are doing. As soon as we can I’ll post the demos and slides to the

TechEd has started! This means that I’ll be nervous until my presentation on Thursday! I’m not nervous about showing off individual features because they are great and I’ve been working on them or with them for a while now, I’m

I'm back from vacation, refreshed and ready for the TechEd 2004! I'm just about to meet with Anson and talk about our presentation “Visual C# 2005: IDE Enhancements for the C# Developer”. We will be demo heavy and if there is a feature you've

Most of my time is spent on Whidbey and Anson and I have been working on the project templates and the add item templates for Whidbey. One of the issues we are currently looking at is the need for namespace entries in the code that gets generated when
