Another thing I found pretty cool was being able to right click on a sub or function and pick "show all instances" or to be on a call to a method or function and right click and go to definition. You'll also find many times right clicking and renaming will rename all instances.
I've really been into using snippets for big chunks of freqeuntly used code (this is a bit different in C# and VB ) I love this thing :
http://www.codeplex.com/SnippetEditor>I just installed the Source Code Outliner. Will this also work for VS 2010 Beta 2? Hey, I just noticed that it has KLevy as having updated this, so that must be Ken Levy. I didn't know his hand was in this too. I'll check this out Charles. Thanks for the heads up.

>>To 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.

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.
