One of the things that has bugged me most about the Visual Studio IDE has been fixed in VS2010. In just about every training I teach, I mention this at least once. Actually, some people were complaining to me about complaining about it too much. ;-)
The one I mean is the Project and Project item dialog:
The problem I had with this dialog are the following:
- It’s not sorted by default
- You can’t sort it in any way
- You can’t filter it in any way
- The Dialog is not sizeable.
This makes it so damn hard to choose the right template fast. I don’t want to stare 5 seconds at this dialog just to find the template I need. So I was very delighted when I opened a new project in Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1. In Visual Studio 2010 the dialog looks like this:
Yeah, baby! Now I can sort, filter and resize it. Whoohoo!
