Hi;

Where are we supposed to put suggestions for VS 2005? If it's this NG, then
here are a couple:

My java IDE is IntelliJ and my C# IDE is Visual Studio with ReSharper. And I
miss the functionality IntelliJ/ReSharper provides a LOT. It shows syntax
errors so there is no need to compile to see what is wrong. It automatically
adds imports. And it’s refactoring is a gigantic help. The lack makes a big
difference about every 3 seconds.

The IDE does not work well with dual monitors – if I have the main IDE in
the right monitor it pops up windows like go to line in the left monitor.

Please make the list of commands in Options, Keyboard larger – it is very
time consuming to make key assignments because the list box is so small
(teeny tiny itsy-bitsy compared to the size of the list small.

OK, Dave, I will forward this feedback to our corresponding product team,
but the VS2005 is about to release publicly in this November, so the I am
afraid there is no chance to change it in this version of the Visual
Studio. NET, but we are looking at continual improvement, and it's this
kind of feedback that let us know what things you're trying to do, that we
haven't yet exposed for you.

Thanks for your valuable feedback!

Best regards,

Gary Chang

Your video driver setup may have a way to dictate
to which monitor these popups go. I know Matrox and
nVidia desktop managers let you specify. What I'd
like to see is a way to force a window (say, Output)
to move to the main monitor once it's been placed in
a secondary monitor. Right now, I have to turn on
the second/third monitor and move the window myself.
I'd like a menu that let you relocate a window to
the main monitor (yeah, good luck there). In my apps,
for example, if I hold down the shift key while starting
(or activating from the tray), it pops to the main
monitor.

BTW, since everything is at RC1 now, you need
to hold all bugs for a few more years. If you
put one in now, it gets marked as resolved/
postponed (period). You're just wasting your
time, and whoever has to skim your report and
mark it "resolved".
