Comment on Visual Studio Tip: Using the Task List Pane by Matt

You should be able to show the Task List editor in Visual Studio 2010 via the menu “View >> Task List” or by typing the keyboard shortcut (Ctrl+\,T). Hope this helps.

Comment on Visual Studio Tip: Using the Task List Pane by Rowan

Thanks for the post. I was wondering if you could help me display the Task List. I’ve been looking everywhere about how to display it but I don’t have the Menu item everyone talks about.

There are blogs etc. about how to show it for C++ but we use C# in Visual Studio 2010. My View menu does not have a Task List entry – nor does it’s sub-menus. The bottom left pane has Error List, Output, Pending Changes and Find Symbol Results but no Task List. Right clicking the pane only shows the existing 4 entries.

I loved this feature in 2008 but I’ve been denied in 2010.

Comment on Removing Local Source Control Files with TFS by Martin Woodward

A “bit of a hack” is somewhat of an understatement, it is a “lot of a hack”

I don’t see this improving in the 2010 release but hopefully sometime soon after that the issue will be looked at. If there was some way that the source control explorer could merge the views of the local file system and the server file system it would really help and doesn’t seem beyond the realms of possibility. Only time will tell.

I found this to be a good comprehensive article on technical debt and its implications: http://blogs.construx.com/blogs/stevemcc/archive/2007/11/01/technical-debt-2.aspx. Take a look.

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to post about this topic. I spend a lot of time on the cartoon and blog postings to try and get people to think about what they are doing today and how they can do things better starting tomorrow.

Is it perfect?

No.

Is it easy?

Nope.

Does it work?

Your call….

Thank you.

Comment on Model-View-Presenter Webcast Series by Tim Gifford

Tim Gifford — Wed, 23 May 2007 03:25:23 +0000

Thanks for the webcast links. This topic is near and dear to my heart…

3 reasons I use this pattern:
1. No defects in your user interface – I’ve noticed that the lowest quality code of most systems is the user interface. Low quality leads to defect and defects make me do support. I don’t like support!
2. It clearly divides the presentation logic from the business logic
3. This pattern taught me how to decouple my designs. I apply the same concepts whenever I have a class that collaborates with multiple external system (file system, database, and/or webservice)
