Visual Studio 2010 Missing Features

Ok, it’s been a while since my last Post. But working with Visual Studio 2010 since a month there are many things i like about the new IDE. But there still some Features Missing. Maybe they are implemented till Release, Maybe not. Hopefully someone in Karen’s Team is reading this. Well i like the Refactoring STRG+., but thanks good Jetbrains announced a Beta in June for Resharper and Visual Studio 2010.  So we don’t have to hesitate. Sorry IDE Team but there are really many Things Missing. So let me start with the Features implemented in Visual Studio 2008 and got lost Things in Visual Studio 2010, i really Miss.

Number 1
The Selection with ALT + Mouse, so that you can Select for example all public declarations.

Why is this Tool so helpfull. Well when you use the CodeSnippets like prop in a Interface, the CodeSnippet doesn’t recognizes that it has to be public. So you have to delete that for your own.

Number 2
The Splitscreen. Where is this small Bar gone? I mean the Word Feature. I want to be at 2 Parts in my Document. I like the new Window Grouping, but i want that Feature back.

Ok this is it, for the first wave. Perhaps i find some other Things i don’t like or miss. And will post it in this Thread.

A lot of new Design Features which i really like, but please don’t forget about the Code Editors. Sometimes Developing is more than just drawing some classes.
