Edit and Continue Edit-and-continue. Alex Lowe: "Do you miss 'Edit-and-Continue'? Is it a waste of Microsoft's time to add back into the IDE/language/framework?" Yes. No. Please, don't make me restart the whole app just because arrays start from 0 instead of 1! :) [Paolo's Notes] Yes, because I'm trying to write a debugger and you have no idea how confusing Edit and Continue will make things so I want to get it over with as soon as possible. The APIs are all there in the debugger APIs so if only Microsoft would say that they're not going to change (no chance).

It maybe tomorrow now if I get a chance to fix it tonight. What other blogs are saying about this post. 2:29:10 PM    comment []  trackback []

SendTo Notepad This script alone will save me >=15 minutes a day.... ' Source: MSDN Magazine Article by Dino Esposito... ' ContextMenu.vbs ' Adds a 'View with Notepad' menu item to any file's context menu ' ----------------------------------------------------------- Option Explicit Dim shell Dim REG_HKCR_ALL ' The registry path where our new entries should be added ' If your registry doesn't contain a Shell node, '   it'll be silently created REG_HKCR_ALL = "HKCR\*\Shell" ' Adds a new key and a couple of entries. '   (The item will have an underlined 'N') Set shell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") shell.RegWrite REG_HKCR_ALL & "\Notepad\", _                "View with &Notepad", _                "REG_SZ" shell.RegWrite REG_HKCR_ALL & "\Notepad\Command\", _                "%WINDIR%\notepad.exe %1", _                "REG_EXPAND_SZ" Sigh...and all these years, I've been typing "WindowKey-R-n-o-t-e-p-a-d-Enter" then alt-tabbing, starting a drag then alt-tabbing and dropping onto Notepad all in ~650 milliseconds, and I thought nothing could be faster...;) [Scott Hanselman's Weblog] I use SendTo for this sort of thing usually.
