For a small community discussion, what are some essential Visual Studio macros you use?
I just started learning about them, and want to hear what some of you can’t live without.
I used to employ a lot of macros in VS 2002/2003. One example would be Region creation – I always like my classes to be divided into the following regions – ‘Private members’, ‘Public Properties’, ‘Public Methods’ and ‘Private methods’. So, I have a macro mapped to a shortcut key that creates these regions in any new class file.
Refactoring support in VS 2005/2008 (and the facility of adding common code snippets) as well as the use of Addins like DXCore and SlickEdit allow me to work without having to create too many macros anymore.
