Visual Studio Window Layout

Today I was playing around with my windows in Visual Studio to get them in place exactly how want it,, but how do I save my window layout settings? I found it on Sara Ford's weblog, simply close Visual Studio and the window layout will be saved.

When you mess-up your windows your can reset them by pressing "Window" -> "Reset Window Layout".

Intellisense not working in Visual Studio 2008

Erwin — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 21:43:29 GMT

Recently my intellisense on Visual Studio 2008 stops working, after some search I found a solution at http://blogs.blackmarble.co.uk/blogs/rfennell/archive/2007/12/01/intellisense-not-working-in-visual-studio-2008.aspx

I had a poke about in Tools|Option and found that on the Text Editor|All Languages that the three checkboxes for Statement Completion where showing neither empty or checked but a fully coloured box - which usually means an unknown settings. So a set these all to checked (a tick) and my Intellisense started working.

This saves me a reinstall of Visual Studio.
