>Imagine you have a form with 3 tabs and 10 controls on each tab. When you look at the form properties and try to find the textbox on the 2nd tab that holds the value for the country, everything is listed alphabetically - the controls are not under their respective tabs. Everything on the form is listed alphabetically. So what is the easiest way to find it? Is it by looking for CountryValue rather than txtCountry or cboCountry? What if the type of control changes later? Let's say you switch from a textbox to a listbox. Do you need to change the name of the control? Doesn't really matter either way with .net actually....

I agree about prefacing. As to finding, the document outliner makes a huge difference and I consider it essential for understanding where things are. In vs 2008 the source outliner add in is extremely useful, but I don't think they have it working yet for vs 2010.

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.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
