Check's Ramblings

Oh my gawd! They finally changed this. This is something that has irritated me in every version of Microsoft HTML editor I ever remember using. When you are in design (WYSIWYG) mode and you press the Enter key, what does it do? It puts jumps out of the current <p></p> tags and starts a new <p></p> paragraph. I don't want that. I pressed Enter. I simply want to drop down a line with a <br> tag. If we want to get picky about it, put a <br /> tag in there.

Well, boys and girls, they finally did it! I just created a little hello world type web app with Visual Studio 2005 Beta 2. I pressed Enter at the end of a line. IT INSERTED <br />!!! I'm so happy!

They've also added a feature that puts a green horizontal line next to all the lines of code once you've saved them. As soon as you've created a new line or modified an existing line, it changes to yellow indicating something that has been changed but not saved yet. Helps to visually depict what you've modified and what you haven't.

So far so good. Also, you can tell it that you want your project to be in the file system and it will let you run it and test it without having to have IIS or Cassini (sp?) installed on your machine. This last one I'd heard about but the first two items above are news to me.

If I get the time, maybe I'll post some more things as I learn them.

24 finally lost me. In a 24 hour period they've dealt with nuclear meltdown, Air Force 1 being targeted, and now a potentially missing nuclear warhead. Pick a freakin plot line already!
