In the Visual Studio 2015 IDE, QuickFind has changed. While I find it irritating that it only has one arrow and a dropdown for forward/back/all, the biggest problem is that it goes away when I click on a new tab (file).
Old Process:
Select a a control from an aspx page
Ctrl-F to get it into QuickFind
Click on the tab for the aspx.vb page
Click the arrow to step through the places that the control is referenced
Current Process:
Select the control
Ctrl-F to open the QuickFind
Click the arrow to “find” the thing I’ve selected (or else it won’t be in the dropdown list later)
Click on the tab for the new page
Ctrl-F again to open the QuickFind
Click the dropdown for find history and select the thing I’m searching for
Click the arrow to actually perform the find
Further, QuickFind seems to be missing from Productivity Power Tools 2015.
Am I missing a setting somewhere?
I am using asp.net and vb.

In Visual Studio 2008, it is possible to double click on a button from the resource view of a CDialog box and be directed right to the code that will help me edit its actions. However, in 2013, when I double click on a button, an "Add Class Wizard" window pops up. I just want to edit what my button does. How can I do this? In the button's properties window, the "property pages" button (the wrench) is disabled, and when I click on the "control events" button (the lightning bolt), there is nothing to select.
Thanks in advance!
If you're looking strictly for properties, right click the mouse and select "Properties". Additionally, you can right click the mouse on the button and select "Add Event Handler..." from the popup menu. That should display an Event Handler Wizard dialog that will allow you pick any number of events that the control supports. Note, however, if your resources are stored in a resource only dll, this approach can be problematic.
So I am trying to add a date time picker to my web application within Visual Studio, but it turns out I cant see it in the tool box. I am running VS 2012
If I go into the tool box and try and add it 'choose items > .net framework components > Find datetimepicker it is selected there!!!
Any reasons why I cant see it, or is there a way I can manually add this?
If you want to use Date Picket in your web application,you can download Aajx Toolkit based on your framework version 3.5 or 4.0.
After downloading the Aajx Toolkit,unzip the folder and find the.dll file.
Now You have to add reference of it into your application.
Right click on your application tools and select add new tab and name it 'Ajax Tools'.
Right click on that tab and select 'Choose Items'.
Popup window will come and click on browse button,select that unzipped .dll file and click on 'Ok' button.
You can see reference is added into your bin folder and see the new Ajax controls under the new 'Ajax tools' tab.
you can find Calender Extender control over there and you can use it by simply drag and drop into your page.
Is there a way to turn off the HTML designer in Visual Studio 2005?
I know you can tell it to go to the source code view directly, which I've done. But if I'm in the code behind and I press Shift + F7 to go to the .aspx page it goes to the designer rather than the source .aspx code. I never use the designer because it's slow and inaccurate. I prefer to edit the .aspx code and work side by side with the browser.
So can I turn off the designer entirely?
Go to Tools --> Select Options
Select HTML Designer --> Uncheck HTML designer
Click OK
After doing this restart your Visual Studio
Options...
Text Editor > HTML/XML > Format
Uncheck Apply Automatic Formatting When switching from Design to HTML/XML view
Open aspx page in source view only:
Right-click some file, Open With..., select Source Code Editor, click Set as Default
Try changing the action that the key combination Shift-F7 points to. The default for Shift-F7 (if you're using the Visual C# 2005 keyboard layout) is View.ViewDesigner. You probably want View.ViewMarkup.
You can remap function keys in the Keyboard window, under Tools/Customize. Click the Keyboard button.
I am using visual studio 2005 and I have added Datepicker dll in my bin folder of sample project.And By doing right click on solution Explorer Add:references,choosed the that dll.But I want display that control in my toolbar.Does I need to create tab for it.Or it automatically get created.or need to go to toolbox then right click anywhere in the toolbox area click choose item and then select server control dll from there and it should appear in toolbox.Suppose if I done this for my sample project.But when next time I am using other project using vs 2005,that control can be seen in toolbar.I know we have to add reference into project for dll but for control need to create tab once again?
You will have to open up a new instance of visual studio right click your toolbox, select Add tab, then you right click the newly added tab and select Choose items, browse to the dll and add the dll, this should add the date picker for all projects, at least it worked for me

You need to go to your toolbox then right click anywhere in the toolbox area click choose item and then you can sleect your server control dll from there and it should appear in your toolbox
For Visual Studio information always check MSDN first ;-)
