After my C# idea, I would like to suggest similar Range and Between ternary operators for the VB.net also:

Using of Range and Between operators:
Dim b As Boolean
b = 5 In 5 To 9 'True
b = 5 In 5 >< 9 'False

Why would useful these ternary operators?
The Range and Between operations are used very often but their present usage is not safe:
b = X >= 5 And X <= 9
b = X > 5 And X < 9

In both cases, the variable X is used twice what is not safe.
The redundant typing and maintenance can cause a wide variety of mistakes.
A further problem may be that the comparison operators are also required to use twice.
I think all programmers have encountered such mistakes:
b = X >= 5 And X < 9
b = X > 5 And X > 9

In addition, the present way is also not strict with the operation order which can cause a bad readable code:
b = X <= 9 And X >= 5
b = X < 9 And X > 5

The above problems would happen far less often or never with the 'In' operators:
b = X In 5 To 9
b = X In 5 >< 9

Advanteges:
- safer
- stricter
- simpler
- shorter
- easier to read
- easier maintenance
- intelliSense would be supported
- not need new reserved keywords

Some other examples:
b = 5 In 5 =>< 9 ' *** True
b = 5 In 5 ><= 9 ' *** False

b = 5.0 In 5.0 To 9.0 ' *** True
b = 5.0 In 5.0 >< 9.0 ' *** False
b = 5.0 In 5.0 =>< 9.0 ' *** True
b = 5.0 In 5.0 ><= 9.0 ' *** False

b = myDate In dte1 To Now()
b = myDate In dte1 >< Now()
b = myDate In dte1 =>< Now()
b = myDate In dte1 ><= Now()

If strLastName In strName1 To strName2 Then MsgBox("From-To")
If strLastName In strName1 >< strName2 Then MsgBox("Between")

It would be nice if there was a service that would roll up the work remaining of all child (and grandchild) PBI's and tasks to the parent PBI. We wrote a custom service to do this but it would be nice if this was included functionality. It helps greatly when ranking the tasks, deciding what to cut from a sprint/project and giving visibility to the true work remaining vs the initial story point estimate.

So if a PBI doesn't have any child PBI's or child tasks then it would just use the story point estimate for the work remaining (or multiple it times some factor ie 8 for an ideal man day, whatever units you decide to use.) If it did have child tasks it would used the work remaining.

While working in c# and visual basic and even in ASP.Net, We are getting full intellisense support and it reduces a lot of pain in writing the program. Further, c# and visual basic programs are easy to be written and are small and compact .

Whereas in the case of Programming with Direct x and Win32 API
in C and Using the MFC library with c++, even the most simple 'hello world' program is more than 200 lines and there are thousands of functions but the intellisense support is very very few.It just lists class ,structure ao an enumeration members and stops with it and yes, of-course describes parameters of functions .

So I request that complete intellisense support must be provided for c++ such an error correction suggestion , code generation and so on....

Please respond to this.I am a beginner in programming with Direct X and It pains like anything to learn it with a simple c++ editor in visual studio 2010.

Most people using Express editions of VS (in my experience) are students and hobbyists. Both of these groups will be able to manage, maintain and produce better code with the addition of unit testing.

When people utilize correct unit testing they will be less likely to encounter inexplicable bugs that lead to frustration, and will be getting constant feedback from VS which just makes it feel more interactive.

I cannot measure what the loss in value will be from the professional, premium, ultimate, etc. versions will be if this is done, however taking into account that there are many free open-source unit testing frameworks available, I cannot believe that it would be that much.

It would be nice if the refactor context menu was able to give you an option to refactor a long chain of "if logic" into a strategy pattern:

eg: say these are all descended from a toy class

if(myObj == ball)
{

}
else if (myObj == train)
{
}
else if(myObj == car)
{

}

If you right clicked you'd get an option to refactor to:

ToyStrategies[typeof(myObj)].DoStuff();

It would be very helpful when trying to simplify code rather than having to manually cut and paste edit names etc for each of a very long potential list of possibilities. Doing this kind of stuff has a pretty significant change in the readablity, cyclomatic complexity and extensibility of the code so exposing it as an option would be good.

Rather than showing the entire path of each file, the resultset can be displayed as a tree view. Considering the following results:


Find all "view", Match case, Subfolders, Find Results 1, Current Project: CBES - Crowd Monitor\CBES - Crowd Monitor.csproj, ""

C:\Users\ABM-7\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\CBES - Crowd Monitor\CBES - Crowd Monitor\Content\themes\base\jquery.ui.theme.css(15): * To view and modify this theme, visit http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/

... it can be displayed in a tree-view like:

Find all "view", Match case, Subfolders, Find Results 1, Current Project: CBES - Crowd Monitor\CBES - Crowd Monitor.csproj, ""

IMO, this way it would look more elegant!

In VS11, when we press Ctrl+F, enters the search-term and press Find All, it shows the search results but the count is displayed at the end of the results. For an instance:

"Matching lines: 13 Matching files: 7 Total files searched: 69"

From user experience point of view, its very inconvenient to scroll down through all the results to get to the last list. IMO, it should be displayed at the top of the result window.

Also, it would be great, if in the mini-find and Find-and-Replace popups, the count like "3 of 19 records" (the same approach IE team has used in Find on Page feature).
