9. How do I use bookmarks to quickly find my files?

If you are developing a medium and large project, if your solution contains a lot of projects, if you have a lot of pages, then to quickly find a page you want is not very troublesome, layer directory to find? Too slow, let alone want you to find a piece of code in a page?!

The bookmark feature in VS is a good way to solve this problem. First, place the cursor at the code where you want to mark the bookmark, and then click the Insert Bookmark button in vs to complete the bookmark operation. You can also use the shortcut key to set bookmarks: ctrl+b,ctrl+t to complete the bookmark settings or cancel.

See figure:

Once the bookmark is set up, simply double-click the bookmark you set in the bookmark list to jump directly to the desired code snippet. To remind you, you can rename the bookmark yourself, it is very convenient.

10. How do I use the Immediate window to debug a program?

The use of this instant window is needless to say, as you may know, but many people are not able to find it when they accidentally turn off the window and then try to use it.

Think about it, since the Immediate window is definitely in the debugging time to be useful, then how to open it? Debug--Window--Immediate window, or shortcut: Ctrl+d,i

11. How can I quickly find the files in my project on my hard drive?

If you are using VS and want to copy a file in the project, do not go to a directory in the hard disk, a directory in depth, open the file in VS, and then right-click the option-Open the folder, see figure:

12. How can I quickly adjust the format of a document or a piece of code?

Now everyone write code like copy code, but the code is sometimes not like writing the format is very correct, the platoon is very neat, how to do? Manually line-by-line adjustment? No!

Give vs to do this boring job: choose Edit-Advanced-format the document or edit-advanced-Set the formatting of the selected code. With it no longer afraid of the code layout is not beautiful.

13. How to quickly add files to the project?

Open vs and paste the file directly into the folder you want to place.

14. How do I force calls to smart hints?

If there is no more than a reminder of VS, it is estimated that many people will not be writing code. But the smart reminder is not able to let us use the way we want, after that time you mouse how to move it will not come out, do we sometimes have to write the original code to delete a part of the "." To invoke smart reminders.

In fact, there is a shortcut key in VS, can really let us achieve the arbitrary, when we want to see the smart reminder when to see.

Put the cursor where you want to call the smart reminder, then enter Ctrl+j, and see, the familiar smart reminder comes out again. See figure:

15. How do I force parameter information to be invoked?

The parameter information of a method is also very important, but it sometimes makes oh we exist and 14 of the same confusion. How do you make us "want to see"?

Remember this shortcut: ctrl+shif+ space, so you want to see it. Place the cursor over the parameter name and enter ctrl+shif+ space to see what comes out:

16. How do I jump to a specified line?

Two ways to quickly navigate to a line in a document: 1. Ctrl+g 2. Click the line number in the status bar, such as:

17. How do I use forward positioning and backward positioning of shortcut keys?

I believe that the "go To Definition" in VS is used by everyone, but how can it be transferred back quickly after the definition? The following shortcut will save you the "Turn Back" time:

Ctrl+_. If you want to go back to the definition, just type: ctrl+shif+_. Switch back and forth and look at what you want to see.

If you say it's too tired to look at it, then tell you a more concise way: Open: View-The Code Definition window, and then you point the mouse to a method in the page and see what the Code Definition window shows:

18. How to quickly switch the unused pages?

Shortcut keys for switching between windows in window you know: ALT + TAB, and then vs also: Ctrl+tab, look at the effect:

19. How do I quickly hide or show the current code snippet?

Ctrl+m,m
20. How can I modify the properties of multiple controls at the same time?

Select multiple controls, and then right-click Properties, at which point the properties common to these controls will appear, and all controls will change after the modification.
21. How do I record and play a temporary macro?

If you need to keep repeating a series of keyboard actions in VS, you might want to consider making vs yourself write the code. Use the macros feature in VS to record your series of keyboard actions that need to be repeated, and then execute the macro directly to get vs to write the code.

Recording: Tools-macros-record temporary macros, ctrl+shif+r
Play: Tools-Macros-run temporary macro, ctrl+shif+p
Save: Tools-Macros-save temporary macros., you can rename a macro
