How Visual C# Helps You Code

Learn to use the built-in features of Visual C# to write better C# code faster. Excerpt: You’ve hopefully already noticed that Visual C# 2005 Express provides quite a few tools and neat IDE tricks to help you develop your applications. Before you dive into learning all about writing Windows applications, now would be a good time for me to introduce each of these features properly. These features, if you master them, can make you incredibly productive at your development work. A chap on the team I’m currently working on, for example, has memorized every single shortcut key within Visual Studio 2005 and can crank out code at a blinding pace. Whether that’s a good thing remains to be seen, but as you’ll see there are plenty of features given to you in C# Express to help you be really productive.
