Two things i find very useful are the Document Outliner ( View/Other Windows) and the Source Code Outliner Power Toy
http://www.codeplex.com/SourceCodeOutlinerTo quickly find stuff alphabetically, the Properties sheet dropdown at the top can be very useful - especially in conjuction with Document Outliner as when you select a control on the dropdown the Outliner is in sync and can help you easily find it on a complex form.
I think the IDE is so many light years ahead of what we had in VFP that it takes a while to find all the cool stuff that is there.

>Yep, I finally did that yesterday and figured out that some of the controls of which I had removed their code, still had definitions/declarations existing that had no code and the actual buttons had already been removed. So, I went through and cleaned it all up, little by little, and it ran fine with no warnings. It's just all getting used to the IDE and how things work.

>>Normally you should be able to doubleclick on the warning or error message and VS will take you right to the offending line.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
