Visual Studio 2012 New Features: Solution Explorer
- yread 14y agoThe amount of polish that goes into VS is incredible. It's a pity these little useful features are quite hard to find
- mullr 14y agoI haven't used the betas of the new version, but I'm not sure I would describe VS as particularly polished. It's better than Eclipse, but IDEA beats it handily. Even Xcode (newer versions) comes out in front, in its own XCode-y way. I actually rather enjoyed VS as a whole, especially the debugger. But we're talking UI polish here.
- laserDinosaur 14y agoBeing able to see the classes in a file is a nice touch. Good to see some of the cooler parts of Eclipse making it over. I find the sentence "searching within file contents doesn’t mean what you think it means." a little strange though. If it doesn't mean what the user thinks it means, maybe they should give it a different name :| One feature I wish the solution explorer had would be to setup a view of only pre-selected files. I find sometimes I'm working between 4-5 files and the only way to keep track of them is to have them open in my tabs. If I have to check two or three other files, my tabs become a mess. What would be nice is to have a 'view' in solution explorer that lets me just see those 4-5 files, maybe even let me jump between views through tabs on the solution explorer instead.
