Some VS2005b2 likes and dislikes
Likes -
Clean Solution/Project
Helps out to clean the solution/project output.
Cleans out Copy Local assemblies, as well as the compilation output of
the project.
Reference properties - specific version (true/false)
Very useful if different developer machines have
different versions of components (though extremely dangerous if you
have not rule out the use of conflicting methods).
Framework for private method testing
The framework gets generated as soon as you "Create Tests" for a provate function. Neat pattern used.
Dislikes -
No default Shortcuts
No default shortcuts
for TestView (though you can go to Tools > Keyboard and add this
one), to run a particular test, as in TestDriven.Net plugin, which I
have got used to.
No option to add shortcuts too. Because the IDE does
not identify a unit test at design time, just after right-clicking over
a part of the Unit test, I dont think there is a VS IDE function, that
can be given a shortcut. This is really sad.
Having used ReSharper for
some time now for VS2003, it has become cumbersome to move over from
the Eclipse style refactoring to the Ctrl K key set. Not that I want
Whidbey to copy them, but because there are less number of refactoring
options, it *might* be a better idea to upgrade ReSharper's subscription.
Anyway, its just Beta2, so we still have time to force a solution to the Keyboard ignorance issue.
