At last , I have done it. I was planning to start a blog for a longggggg time but never got time to do that .

I want to start with something really simple and easy and non technical .

The other day I was exploring VS IDE and found out some interesting things in File --> Advanced menu item.

File --> Advanced Menu item has 7 menus in it which are helpful in formatting the code and keeping it clean out of which below 3 are my favourites.

1) Format Document : If like me you also dont like using Tab and Backspace to indent each line of your code and if you want your code to be indented in a second , use Ctrl+E+D (Format Document). It formats the code file , inserts tabs and indents code nicely.

2) FormatSelection : It is small sister of FormatDocument and indents the selected code . I usually dont use this one much as I always mess up while selecting code block . Instead I prefer to use FormatDocument coz it format the whole document with just simple press of Ctrl+E+D.

3)ViewWhiteSpaces : Have you guyz ever felt that your Backspace and Tab buttons are behaving strangely . If you would want to turn on View White Spaces option . It shows different key strokes for spaces and tabs.
