The new version of Visual Studio has some dangerous features. It auto correct your text as it sees fit.

Here is a scenario:

You have a class with a lot of code
Some of those lines include strings such as lcSQL = lcSQL + "This is not what it seems"
Higher in the code, you start changing a line
While you change the line, the entire section of code below will be highlighted in red as the designer wants to alert you that there are errors (I already reported that one not so long ago and that is useless)
As the designer is now manipulating the remaining portion of the code, whereas quotes like that, specific strings might be changed
I ended up with an enormous amount of lines having been changed to lcSQL = lcSQL + "This is Not what it seems"
The change I did was 2000 lines above
Why do I discover, days later, that it changed something below?

I am still looking for this auto error correction switch so I can turn this off.

I just thought I would mention it as, if you have not run into that, you might soon.
