This series will walk the beginner through the Visual Studio.NET interface and provides lots of helpful tips and tricks on getting the most out of your coding experience. These videos highlight why Visual Studio.NET is one of the most advanced code editing environments available today.
The following videos are available for this series:
| Start Page | |
| As you first open Visual Studio, the Start Page appears in the main area of the screen. The start page is little more than a series of web pages comprised of HTML, and XML that is rendered by XSL. Additionally, it makes heavy use of DHTML. However, from an end user perspective, it gives the developer quick access to 1) project and solution management info, 2) community content and links, and 3) environment customization and updates to the Visual Studio.NET IDE when they become available. This video provides an overview of the functionality within the Start Page. | |
| Main Area | |
| The main area is where you will do most of your work within Visual Studio.NET. The main area is a container for tabs. Each tab represents a work area for one or more files. This video shows how to navigate through, arrange, group and manage the tabs | |
| Working with Windows | |
| This video demonstrates how to work with fixed and auto-hide windows within the IDE. Auto-hide windows provide a means of saving "screen real estate" by sliding in and out from a given side of the IDE. Additionally, it demonstrates how to navigate | |
| Working with Toolbars | |
| This video shows you how to customize your IDE to show or hide toolbars, dock them in different positions, modify the icons in existing toolbars, and creating your own toolbars filled with the functionality you use most. | |
| Creating a New Project | |
| Creating projects is one of the most fundamental first steps in Visual Studio. This video thoroughly explains options in the New Project dialog which is used to create project templates that will get you started quickly by creating a project with in | |
| Opening and Closing a Project | |
| This video demonstrates many different techniques that can be used to open an existing project. Particular attention is given to the Open Project dialog. Finally, the lesson demonstrates how to close a project that is currently open. | |
| Understanding Solutions and Projects | |
| Managing all of the files and settings that comprise a project can be difficult. That is the purpose for a "project" within Visual Studio which is a collection of all the files (code files, web pages, XML files, etc.) and settings (references) that | |
| Adding a Project to a Solution | |
| This video demonstrates how to create a blank Solution, then add projects to the solution file. This technique allows you to create a name for your solution that is not defaulted to the first project's name, such as is the case when you go straight | |
| Using the Solution Explorer | |
| The Solution Explorer serves the purpose of allowing you to navigate and manage the files in a project, and the projects in a solution. The Solution Explorer provides context sensitive functionality by right clicking items in the window, or in the s | |
| File Management within Projects | |
| This video goes into greater depth about adding new or existing files to a project, add folders, rename, delete and exlude files. It also explains why you sometimes see faded icons in the Solution Explorer. | |
| Starting Multiple Projects within a Solution | |
| Demonstrates how to configure your solution so that more than one project runs when you select the Start option from Visual Studio.NET | |
| Understanding Designer Generated Code | |
| When using the Toolbox, the Property window and a Designer Surface, the end result is that code is generated for you. This video explains this process, and makes a distinction between designer generated information and Code Behind that was introduced | |
| Code Window: Keyboard Shortcuts | |
| Demonstrates how to use keyboard shortcuts to speed up your coding in the code window. | |
| Code Window: Intellisense | |
| Intellisense consists of a number of utilities that provide context sensitive information to help the developer remember and enter the correct code. Some of these features have been enhanced from previous versions of Visual Studio to provide additional assistance. This video explains what each of the features of Intellisense are, and how to utilize them while developing in the code window. | |
| Code Window: Using Dynamic Help | |
| The Dynamic Help feature will provide help suggestions as you type code. By selecting one of the suggested links, a help window is opened in the main area. This video highlights the use of Dynamic Help as you create your applications. | |
| Code Window: Organizing Code with Regions | |
| Code Regions allow you define sections of code to "roll-up" to reduce the amount of code you have to search through. Outlining is similar, and is provided automatically for each procedure in your code. Both of these concepts are explained more thoroughly and demonstrated in this video. | |
| Code Window: Navigating Through Code | |
| This video highlights two methods for navigating through your code. The Class and Procedure selectors within the Code window allow you to select the specific code areas from drop down list boxes located at the top of the code window. The Class View window shows all the namespaces, classes and procedures that are contained across multiple files. The use of these two techniques are demonstrated and explained. | |
| Using the Tasklist | |
| Details how to utilize the Tasklist window to save time and find reminders of ToDos, Bugs, Unfinished code, bookmarks, and more. Also describes how to create your own Tasklist Monikers. | |
| Defining Breakpoints and Stepping Through Code | |
| This video shows the fundamentals of setting a simple breakpoint and stepping through code. It shows how to use the Step Into, Step Over and Step Out features, how to determine the values in variables while in break mode, and more. Debugging skills: don't leave home without it! | |
| Advanced Breakpoint Techniques | |
| This video demonstrates some more advanced uses of breakpoints like setting conditions and setting hit count. Also, it explains functionality of the Breakpoint window. | |
| Server Explorer's SQL Server Integration | |
| This video demonstrates how to connect to databases, create new databases, manage tables, stored procedures, views and database diagrams all with the use of the Server Explorer's built in SQL Server management console. | |
| Understanding the TargetSchema | |
| Explains and demonstrates how to the set the TargetSchema for a Web Form so that the .NET Framework renders the page targeted at different browser versions | |
| Using Macros | |
| Demonstrates how to record, edit, debug and run macros using the Macro Explorer, the Macro IDE, and creating keyboard and toolbar shortcuts. | |
