In VB Classic, VBA and also in Visual Studio you can dbl click close to the left hand margin of a block of code and it will select the whole of the current block (sub, function etc). In Visual Studio this clickable area is adjacent to the line numbers on the left.Is there a keyboard shortcut that will do the same job? that is, select the "current block".

What it the Visual Studio shortcut to switch to recently edited line of code ? (useful after accidentally pressing Page Down for example). I saw my mother using it but couldn't spot what the combination was. Also couldn't find on internet.

What are some shortcut keys you know of that make programming faster, easier, or all around more enjoyable?
I have a VB Windows Application in Visual Studio 2003 complete with it's own setup project. What I would like to do is during the installation of that project is to install a shortcut icon on the desktop that points to the location of the .exe file that was just installed on the user's machine. Unfortunately this option in the setup is not easy to find (at least to me) on Visual Studio 2003. What would I need to do in order to get that shortcut icon to pop-up automatically?
View 3 RepliesIn C# adding event handler methods is very easy. You just type "object.event +=" and then press tab twice. Is there anything like this for VB projects? Note: This is for dynamically created controls or controls that are not declared WithEvents.

View 5 RepliesIs it possible to create a custom start menu shortcut link?
The only possibilities I see in the setup project are shortcuts to folders or primary output.
Update:
What I ended up doing is creating a custom action on commit that dynamically creates the link using Windows Scripting Host. Then on uninstall, removing the link.
Types have their own color (cyan by default).Enter completes the auto-complete suggestion.

I would like to know if its possible, and if so how, to use VB.NET to automate a keyboard shortcut. In the application i am developing, it receives email as a outlook addin and runs various checks and if those checks are positive it inserts information about the message into the database. But i want to be able to tell it that when the subject = "Keyword" to perform Ctrl+Alt+Up for, essentially a prank. However - I can't find anything on this anywhere, all i find is "Custom Short-cuts In VB.NET" and stuff about the KeyDown, KeyUp and KeyPress events.

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.

I'm currently designing an assembly that will be used by third parties. One of the classes has a long process of TCP connections and it informs about its process using events. For example
''# Do stuff that takes some time
RaiseEvent CompletedFirstPartEvent()
''# Do stuff that takes some time
[Code].....
What I've seen if that if the handler of one of those events takes too long (or even worse, it blocks) I can have timeouts and it's hard for the developer to see that one class is not working fine because his handler is taking too long.
I was going to fire the events in a new Thread to avoid this issue but this looks strange to me because I've never seen something like that, what I've seen until now is the developer spawning a new Thread if his handler was going to be timeconsuming. So the question is:
What would you do? Create a new thread or force the user to create his own thread? (Or is -there a better approach that I don't know?)
