  • Hello,
    I have found your blog useful as a daily read. Is there a way in Visual Studio 2008 to stress test my web applications? I have been reading all over the Internet and also some ASP .NET books, and it seems that ACT used to come with VS .NET. However, in the recent version which is VS 2008 (professional), how do i stress test? Or, do i have to get team system edition?
  • You can also do Ctrl-Shift-i to search your code backwards.

    If you have unused mouse buttons, I think you can bind GotoDefinition to one of them (not sure what the shortcut key is--I don't use Intellisense anymore).
    I use Visual Assist (wholetomato.com) and an Evoluent mouse (evoluent.com). I use the Evoluent Mouse Manager to configure custom settings just for VisualStudio: Button5 to act as Alt-G (VA-GotoDefinition). Button4 is Shift-LeftClick (VA context menu).
  • Thanks for tips, I really need those kinds of information now.. basics really helps a lot.
