It's the little thingsthings in VS2005 (mostly related to the outstanding work done on the CLR)... but in general the LITTLE THINGS totally drag it down.. especially the slightly-improved-but-not-all-that-much IDE. I waited for 3 years for this? Who's in charge of this mess? 1) Editing a web form in the designer... I think I'm totally misunderstanding the usage of CSS stylesheets and classes. Why can't I pick from a CSS style in the CssClass property in the property window? I can manually enter a style and it'll work... but there's no "dropdown" to select one. I have to remember the names of all the styles in my stylesheet? That's not very helpful. Am I doing something wrong? 2) Also, CSS styles in the linked stylesheet also don't show up in the "Block Format" dropdown in the toolbar. I think they should... am I wrong? Furthermore, why can't I link (via the Property Editor) to multiple stylesheets. HTML supports this and it is used often... why doesn't the designer support this? I know I can drop to the source editor and add them to the HEAD section manually but this is also not very helpful in the grand scheme of things. No wonder Visual Studio 2005 defaults to showing you the source HTML/ASP tags.... because it's visual web form editor plain sucks. 3) Why doesn't the ClassKey property in the Expressions window show resource files that are in App_GlobalResources??? You have to manually type in the name of the resource file. Not only that, but even if you type in the name of the resource file, you still have to manually give it the the name of the resourse string!!!???? Why no dropdown? Not only that, but if you go back into it, then a list of resource keys DO show up? Amazing! This is a flat out bug... not a missing feature or a misunderstanding of the developer's intent. Whatever programmer was in charge of this feature simply went to sleep on it. I understand that it works better if you have a resource file for EACH web form... because then the Expressions Editor doesn't act so STUPID. But, this is unnacceptable. The implementation of Globalization via Resource files in the ASP Web Forms designer is HORRID. 4) Is it me or does intellisense behave weird in the Immediate Window? When I'm in debug mode and I go to the Immediate window and type ? System. no intellisense after the period! But if I hit enter after typeing ? system (I get an error of course) but then after that typing ? System. does trigger intellisense and I'm shown all the stuff in the System namespace. Huh? 5) F1 is unpredictable. It doesn't work from the immediate window It doesn't really work from the Property Editor. It works OK from source code... but then it gets confused if you have nested parethesis and such. It took me forever to realize that I should NOT select an entire word and hit F1... that this instead does a "generic" search instead of the actual TYPE of the variable or keyword selected. Not highligting the word does cause F1 to behave as you would expect and it zeroes in exactly on the keyword or function it should in the Help files. I don't dislike this behavior... but, I was confused by it at first. 6) Don't even get me started on why VS2005 INSISTS on creating an EMPTY UNUSED subfolder every time it starts in my My Documents folder even though I have changed all its paths elsewhere. 7) Import/Export settings is a cool idea (actually stolen from good ol' Visual Interdev about 7 years late). But badly implemented. I would prefer to see a drop down or menu somewhere where I can easily change "Environment Settings" without worrying about saving, switching around physical files, or playing musical chairs. Something like View | Environment -> C#, VB, Custom, Define Views (similar to the way Outlook does "Views.") I suggest you protest this incompetence by only using the command line tools
until VS 2007 is released. That'll show 'em. :) tmShow quoteHide quote "CMM" <cmm@nospam.com> wrote in message news:Or%2374aUJGHA.3408@TK2MSFTNGP12.phx.gbl... > Do the developers of Visual 2005 actuall use it???

I just hope we don't have to wait a long 2 years for v2.1. I've really begun to hate MS's development cycles and marketing driven hype releases.

awesome to begin with. But is 2005 really worth all the hype after THREE years. I expected it to be a lot more mature than it was... and I DEFINATELY didn't expect to see some of the quirks and out and out bugs present in it. I expected more after three years and from a dev team as large as this.

From what I've heard, it's buggy when it comes to ASP.Net development, but the ASP.Net object model has been changed quite a bit from the 1.1 platform. I'm not saying this is an excuse, but a contributing factor. However, I've developed all kinds of non-ASP.Net apps with it, and it's a tremendous improvement over 2003. There are changes to the CLR, but these pale in comparison to the changes in the IDE. There have been quite a few actually, but don't let the fact that it looks almost the same throw you off. There has been a heck of a lot of enhancement to the IDE. I use Refactoring on a regular basis. It's one of the best things about it. The intellisense is *much* better. For example, you can go to a locally-defined variable (inside a method) now. Code Snippets are highly useful. The XML tools are amazing. And that's just off the top of my head. There is quite a bit more in there as well. A great productivity tool. -- Show quoteHide quoteHTH, Kevin Spencer Microsoft MVP ..Net Developer Who is Mighty Abbott? A twin turret scalawag.

Or the silly new search/replace dialog which lacks a close button and has an action button on the spot where you would expect a close button.

I have once asked this in a chat to Microsoft.Especially about the Project Reference box which was in my opinion terrible to use. It will not be the reason that I have asked it, however most dialogwindows in version 2005 that I have seen are now resizable (including that search box). However they lack a grip in the window and therefore I did think a well a while that they where not resizable. I agree with you that it is still annoying that Microsoft uses non Microsoft standards for the control box on a dialogbox.
