VB Code Snippets Editor
One feature of Visual Studio 2005 is the introdution of code snippets. What are code snippets? They can be bits of code that you might use regularly like some utility features (which you might need to make minor tweaks instead of reusing it as .dll) or some standard task like calculating the number of days in a month. I am quite sure we have those code lying around in our dev machines, just that we lack the mechanism to organise them around. Not anymore! VS 2005 comes with code snippet support.
However there is a drawback in the current snippet mechanism for those who are not familiar with the angled brackets. Fret not, there is a work around for it. MS Visual Basic Developer Centre has released a Code Snippet Editor for Visual Basic. This tool is a result of collaboration between Microsoft (Sean Draine, VB PM), Bill McCarthy (Aussie VB MVP) and other dedicated VB developers.
You can be sure, Visual Studio 2005 is going to be a solid product, helping you to be code productive and efficient. Improvements in the Framework likes generics, enhanced support in the IDE thru the different task oriented editions and increased proper software enginnering support. VS is simply the best IDE.
I am so excited about Visual Studio 2005. It's gonna to be kick arse. Meanwhile, you can download the Visual Basic 2005 Express version to have a preview that is bandwidth friendy.
