I am pretty new to Visual Studio and .net framework and I need some help.
First with VS I can’t find the useful shortcuts I used to use with Eclipse such as :
- Importing packages (Ctrl+Shift+O in Eclipse) .
- Generating automaticly some methods (like equals() and toString()).
- Generating the needed try/catch automatically with the right thrown Exception (no need to write it and search in MSDN for the right exception).
Second, is there any Java-Api-Like documentation for .net framework, MSDN is really confusing and I find it really hard to find what I look for.
Keyboard shortcuts, via MSDN.
The ones I find myself using the most often are:
As far as documentation goes, I actually find MSDN to be a great resource. Sometimes actually finding what I’m looking for is the hardest part, but google solves that pretty easily. The writing, however, is typically clear and thorough, at least in my experience. If you haven’t seen these, perhaps they will be of some use, particularly the 2nd link.
MSDN – .NET Framework 4
MSDN – .NET Framework Class Library
I know you said you don’t love it, but it truly is the best available in my opinion.
