Dealing With Linq Formatting In Visual Studio?

Jul 28, 2010

Does anyone else wrestle with getting VB.NET Linq code formatted the way they want it in Visual Studio? What are some tricks you have for how do you deal with it? I know that Visual Studio lets you uncheck the option for "Pretty listing (reformatting) of code", but most of the time it's a really handy setting to keep on. And with a team of developers who could have other settings, that's not really a viable solution. So my questions are:How have you dealt with formatting multiline Linq statements in VB without fighting with Visual Studio's code formatting?Is there a particular style guide for Linq in VB.NET that is recommended? Something that is readable, and that Visual Studio likes without the reformatting nightmares? My original question may not have had the clarity I desired. Here's a more concrete example. [code]

Everything is all nicely formatted and lined up, but any changes to the query result in Visual Studio borking the formatting and only an immediate CTRL-Z will stop it. Which is fine if there's a standard way that VS would like to see multiline Linq formatted, but if not, then the constant reformatting VS tries makes no sense. I'm trying to see if I missed some standard or how others in the community deal with this effectively. (BTW - using tabs instead of spaces for indents.

Dealing With Different Coding Conventions/Styles In Visual Studio?

Sep 1, 2010

I'm working on two different projects - both in VB.NET/Visual Studio 2008 (as much as I'd like to move to 2010).

I find I'm confusing the different coding standards that I'm supposed to follow. IE - Project1 wants variables named in a Hungarian-style notation like 'iSomeValue'; the does not want a prefix. One project requires an _ prefix on private class-level variables - etc...etc...

Are there any tools I can integrate with VS 2008 that will let me easily swap between pre-defined styles and format my code for me?

Visual Studio To Ensure Formatting Of Text In Messageboxes

May 18, 2010

I have a windows application that displays a multi-line message box to the user during the course of the program.This particular application is run on various machines running either XP, Vista, or Windows 7.When the application is run on an XP box, the formatting of the Messagebox looks great. When the program is run on a Vista or Windows 7 machine, the text in the messagebox is eschew and the formatting looks sloppy.Is there a way in Visual Studio to ensure the formatting of text in Messageboxes is consistant between XP and Vista/Win 7?

Is it possible to use LINQ in the express version of visual studio? I am planning on refactoring my project to use LINQ, but I am the only person in my group that has a copy of visual studio pro.

Developing MS Visual Studio Like Application Using MS Visual Studio 2005

Nov 27, 2009

I have to develop an application using MS Visual Studio 2005 or above with the following objective:

* The application should allow users to create as many new forms as they want and each form should behave like a MS Visual Studio WinForm. By saying that it should be a container for drag and drop of controls from the toolbox that I will develop....

* Once the user design's each screen to his taste by placing various controls on the form, he should be able to save the form as a screen. Of course I have to provide functionality for each of the controls such as if he drags a button on to the form, he should be able to specify what action it has to perfom when clicked when the application is put into run mode. Quite similar to regular windows form button.

* My application should have two modes: a DESIGN MODE, where user can drag, drop controls and specify what they should do when put into RUN MODE. This is quite similar to MS Visual Studio designer.

* Last but not least is to be able to access the application via the browser with the same look and feel his desktop version.

.net - Which Version Of Visual Studio 2010 Contains Visual Basic SharePoint Templates

Aug 5, 2011

Does anybody know which version of Visual Studio 2010 contains the full set of Visual Basic SharePoint Templates? I am about to embark on a project to create Visual Web Parts to be used in a SharePoint report.

At the moment I am using Visual Studio 2008 and even though the WSPBuilder is installed none of the relevant SharePoint templates are present.Having searched SO and the web, most advise to install the templates via the Visual Studio command prompt: devenv /installvstemplates

Alas the Visual Studio command prompt is also missing from my VS2008 installation.So, the question remains: which version of VS2010 contains what I need for pain-free SharePoint development? There is a rather large price different between VS2010 Professional and VS2010 Premium, so can anyone tell me if the cheaper version (VS2010 Professional) contains all the Sharepoint templates?
