Great blog! I especially like the 'Data Driven Testing' piece. I'm getting into this area and have been running a script for each test to prepare the data. I'll give this a shot. Thanks.

More tips:

11. Use ReSharper (www.jetbrains.com)

12. Use SonicFileFinder (sonicfilefinder.jens-schaller.de - from the co-worker of the GhostDoc author)

Thanks for the feedback!

Unfortunately ReSharper isn't available for Visual Studio 2008 (yet)

Let Visual Studio Generate Unit Test Code -- Makes my skin crawl.

Why, because if you allow test to be generated you may not fully understand the intent of the test. Making it almost useless.

Don't get me wrong, having generated tests is better than NO tests at all, but this is the lazy mans version of testing if you ask me.

To generate XML Comments for fields, methods, properties, etc. you can tap forward slash 3 times while your cursor was just before the declaration line. Like this (| represents your cursor):

public bool IsCool { get; set; }

///|

public bool IsCool { get; set; }

/// <summary>

/// |

/// </summary>

public bool IsCool { get; set; }

This is built-in to Visual Studio.

Very interesting.

Regarding the prop snippet I reported a problem on Connect:

The prop snippet in VS 2008 is not very efficient, at least not as good as the one in 2005, which would actually generate the get and set bodies. I ended up copying the one from 2005 to 2008 and that's the one I use!

Most of those tips look handy (though most I already knew), but that GhostDoc thing looks awful. Auto-generated "documentation" that documents IsCool with "Gets or sets a value indicating whether this instance is cool" is worse than useless. It's worse because it's a time-waster: You consult the documentation for help, and all it does is waste your time telling you something you already knew from the name.

Better to have *no* documentation than to have reams of pointless "documentation" like that.

Boosting productivity is first a good help,

I have visual studio 2008 with MSDN Help and I found that source selection that is available when installing MSDN help is irelevant.

One need when developping web aspx for example to be able to restrict full text search within help to a few Sources like C# or Source System

Currently search is giving result for a search througout tons of sources like sharepoint, windows fundation,

widows forms or mobile meaning that help search is awfull

is there a way to choses the specific sources that you want to search.

Don say filter, it works only for keyword list.

Plenty of whinny in the comment .... :(

Anyway, thanks a lot for the few tricks that I had no knowledge of. ;)

Specially the mockery (wording that I wouldn't have though about to describe that).

ReSharper does support VS 2008. 3.1 (the current release version) will handle all of your C# 2.0 needs. RS 4.0 is still in alpha/beta/whatever, but the nightly builds (http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/ReSharper+4.0+Nightly+Builds) have proven useful in the interim for working with the new C# 3.0 language enhancements.

So Microsoft lets the community smoke clear from the last time a softie tried to sell the idea of reverse-engineering tests from code, and we're right back to where we were a couple of years ago. Zero progress. Zero growth. And Microsoft still trying to take advantage of its customers by working to convince them to use features that reduce customers' success potential.

Is it so hard to provide guidance based on practices that yield the greatest results rather than guidance that merely justifies the investment you've made in questionable features?

The crisis of quality and consciousness continues in the Microsoft sphere of influence and coercion.
